Played live the other night
Well, I have to tell you about the other night.
Me and a guy from work ("HMAS" Dom C) went up to a local pub for a game of Poker, their were 35 people there and the prizes weren't too bad for a smallish crowd; 1st $450, 2nd $200.....so on so so forth.
Anyway, myself and Dom are kicking back having a delightful beverage before the game and start talking tactics, now I'm not the best of players, but ol' Domma goes alright on his day. So we start saying that we should sit on different tables to avoid going heads up against each other in hands, turns out we end up on the same table (here's me fist pumping about it - not). So we're avoiding each other quite well, until about the 9th hand, I get dealt KcQc, I decide to limp in and see what happens on the flop, Dom on my left raises 400 (our stacks were about 1600 each), flop comes Jh 3c Qs; I check, thinking Doms gonna bet anyway ( here's me expecting to raise a smallish a bet), he throws in 600 (now I start thinking, geez, don't tell me he has KK or at worse AA), I have to call, I throw 600 into the chook bin. Turn; Ad (bloody hell, I know I'm gone now) I check; Dom goes all-in (grrrr), I'm sitting there thinking, should I just throw the rest of my chips in and be done with it or should I fold and sit here for another 4 hands hoping to jag something decent? I decide to go with the latter. I throw my cards in........Dom turns over AQ, I knew it. However, we did something you should never do after the hand and looked at what the river was going to be, it was a 10 - I was devastated.
How would you have played that hand? I think about re-playing it over and over. Anyway, that's Poker I guess. Still had a great night. Dom ended up Chip leader on the final table, he busted out to some terrible calls and finished 6th, turned out to be a crap shoot in the end.
Well, that's it from me for now. Catch ya's later.
