Golden 2 Posted July 11, 2006 Author Share Posted July 11, 2006 GD, I get so caught up in making the "perfect call" that I can't laydown big hands. First hand back from back, I'm in fine shape, folded to me in cutoff, standard raise with A-Qc, bb goes all in, has me covered, once again I instantly know what he has and yet I still call, A-Ko v A-Qc and I blank.Can't get married to those hands, dude Link to post Share on other sites
Napa_Don 688 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Can't get married to those hands, dudeYep I know, it's a leak I'm working on. 9 out of 10 times I lay that down.Whoa, thought this tourney was going the way of the $20k early on, lost 1/3 of my stack with 7-7 but still had 50 bb so I wasn't worried. Then a couple of hands later, get K-Jd in sb, couple of limpers so I raise 5x bb to try and pick up blinds, ALL CALL, flop is J hi, I go all in for 2k trying to win it right there (pot is 1k), 2 callers who both have me covered(oh sh.it), turn and river blank and they check it down, one had 9-9, one had J-10 and I more than triple up.Very next hand get K-K on button, lots of limpers again so I make same raise, sb goes all in for 3000, folded back to me, easy call(I have 6k) he had A-J and I hit a boat.Up to 10k, early chipleader but I don't wanna put the carriage before the horse. One hand at a time, smart poker. Link to post Share on other sites

Napa_Don 688 Posted July 11, 2006 Share Posted July 11, 2006 Well in order to pad my count to to pad the //hideout\\ count I'll post some hands.Min raise in front of me with A-10o so I call, cu min raises it again, 2 callers so I also call since I have a lot of chips with small blinds and getting good odds hoping to flop a monster.Flop is 10-6-2. Initial raiser bets 1/4 pot(small bet) so I call with TPTK to see what 2 others behind me would do. 1 fold, 1 call.Turn-5, initial raiser checks so I bet 800 into 1600 pot thinking my hand is good, lp calls, ep folds.River- 5, gin card for me cause might have counterfeited a smaller 2 pair. I bet 1600 into 3200 pot, he calls for all his chips and shows J-10.Up to 14k, avg around 4k Link to post Share on other sites
