gamer4life27, I think you have the situation about right. If I had moved in on the turn, he likely would hae folded and I could have taken it down there.
I think at the time, I slowed up a bit and was hoping he would call or come over the top. He did call, but his hesitation said he either had something like QT, JT or he had a big overpair AA,KK,QQ and was worried he'd goten run down.
But I have to agree. The biggest mistake I made in the hand was not forcing the issue on the turn.
And to Jonathank, I'm not bragging about a big laydown here in any way. If anything I'm disappointed. I messed of the hand. I lost money bt getting rivered after betting every street. And I had to make a fundamentaly incorrect play to keep from going broke in the hand.
I'm glad I didn't go broke. But I'm definitely not happy about the hand at all. As for leaving even, well, I wasn't honestly worried about that. I play enough at this location that I wasn't worry about my immediate gain/loss. I'm up pretty significantly at this location, so losing my chips wouldn't really have mattered to me. Don't get me wrong. I like to win as much as the next guy, but it wouldn't have been that distressing.
I think you're missing the point of this thread entirely. I'm not here saying, "hey looka t me, I can make amazing laydowns." I'm simply putting this type of situation out here to discuss. I couldn't care less if everyone thinks I'm a clown for the fold. Like I said before, I'm not even happy with myself over the whole damn hand.
I just think the whole thing makes for interesting discussion.  |
