   Wednesday 9/16 7pm tourney at Deuces Wild

   
   Wednesday 9/16 7pm tourney at Deuces Wild: $30/$30+5 buy-in, 3,000 chips plus one re-buy plus some bonus chips, 12 players >> busted in 8th position ($0 prize)

   Bad karma: early in the game with about 4,000 chips, I am on the button, 25/50 blinds. 2 limpers, early and middle position, and I have and the button: I call; SB calls, BB checks. Family pot (250 chips.) Flop: rainbow. Checked up to middle position guy who bets 200: he might be on air only, playing position, or even better have something like a pair or two! In any case, I raise to 600. It's folded to the original raiser who calls. I'm relatively satisfied: could he have trips? The turn is another . The guy checks. That 5 stinks. That could improve many hands I was putting him on. I should check and pray, but I would not know where I was standing, so I put a medium bet of 700 pretending the 5 might have helped me. He raises to 1,500. It could be genuine: he's got a A5 or even K5 and tries to suck me in, but I know the guy and he's got game, he could well do the check-raise trick to get me out of the hand. I settle for a call. Turn is a blank, the buy bets 1,000 which is practically all we've each got left. He means business and looks very calm: I give him credit for a good hand and fold. He shows K5 for a full-house! I'm back to the grind.

   Bad fold? in late position with about 1,500 chips, blinds 50/100. I am not desperate yet (close to, but...) so I must be selective and my brings back bad memories... but after 3 limpers, there is too much money in the pot and I decide to limp; so do the SB and BB. With 600 chips in the pot, the flop is , I have top pair. The 3rd guy bets 400, next fold, but the guy on my right calls too. Now, that's not good: one of them is more than likely to have a K in his hands, and most probably with a better kicker than mine. I fold, and so do the SB and BB. Turn is a !!! First guy bets, second calls. River is a Q!!! I would have had a full boat! First guy bets, and the second guy calls: first shows , the second ! I would have split the pot, but what were the odds?!

   Bad run: blinds just increase to 300/600, I have 5,200 chips (thanks to the re-buy at the break) or M=6. In late position, SB and BB have average stacks, I shove for the first time all-in with . It's folded to me and I steal the blinds. I now have 6,100 chips. Next hand, kind of middle position, it's folded to me and I have . I shove all-in again, hoping for a call. The SB says "I can't fold that hand... I call" and shows pocket ! Flop is ; turn is a that seals my destiny; river, I'm not sure as I was already shaking some hands and leaving. I believe I was doomed to die anyway: even if I do not shove, bet and then call his probable raise, the flop with a jack gives me top pair top kicker and I would have shoved then... Oh well!

   • Nice fold on that first one.

     2nd hand, I'd just get out preflop with that trash ;) But after the flop I'd assume my hand is good, and especially bust once the case king comes out!
