the wsop circuit is in town right now.
played an event today. 20k starting stack.
pretty quiet early on - won a couple of small pots.
first notable hand a guy called down my river bluff with 4th pair. i told him "nice call. don't know how you make that call?" and his response was the usual insult-to-injury poker b.s. "yeah, not sure why i called. i was sure i was beat."
ground my way up to 28k after about 90 mins.
next notable hand i raised KcJc in late position. 1 caller. flopped two pair. bet it hard to the river and the guy kept calling. turns out he had AQ and hit his 4-out gutter on the river.
why do i never get that lucky when i play that poorly?
last hand blinds were 300-500 and i have about 6k. couple of limps to me in the big blind and i look down at QQ. i ship it all in. everybody has me covered. two decent-sized stacks fold and it comes to the guy on my immediate right in the small blind. he has about 15k. he calls for 40% of his stack with K10 off. another poor call but, of course, he flops a king and i'm headed home.
going to play a $400 ring event tomorrow.
game on!
