Someone UTG raises to $2.50, folds to me, I reraise to $7. Now the guy next to me, a shortstack, raises all-in. Another shortstack calls. So does the preflop raiser. If this were Prima I could push but NOOOOOO, this has to be Tribeca.
Anyway, the pot is about $40 going to the flop. I have $40 left behind. So I'm ready to play for it all on any flop. There's not much room to do anything else.
But then the flop is KJ8 with two clubs. I have the Ac. I'm already unhappy, and get more unhappy when the pfr guy bets into me, about $8 into the $40 pot. WTF do I think he has there? QQ? AK? I don't know. Anyway, I think a raise commits me, but I don't really realize that a call does, too. I have to push or fold. Anyway, I butcher the hand and flat call, then call when he pushes the turn, and lose my stack like a total donk. (If I had pushed the flop I still lose it, but a tiny bit less donklike.)
And my aces were no good, of course. The big stack shows JJ. The two shortstacks show ... are you ready ... KJ and 88. All three of them had my aces beaten.
Should have known this was a bad sign. Later I limp QQ in ep and find a flop of Txx with two diamonds. 5 see the flop. Someone bets the pot, I raise strong, he calls, someone else calls in a blind. Turn is a J and it checks to me, I bet half pot which is also almost half his stack, he check-raises all-in, and I think and think and finally call. He's on T7 of diamonds. I then watch as of course he catches a third diamond on the river. Bye bye most of another stack.
Two stacks is no big deal, of course. Just venting. I've been on a roll at Tribeca prior to tonight.
I did think the AA hand was kind of cool, though folding it on the flop would have been a lot cooler.Statistics: Posted by k3nt — Tue May 23, 2006 9:43 pm
