I'm still writing up a trip report of my time at the gold coast. For now, I just played a session and this is all I have to say. Lol.
This one was taken near the end, but not quite there.
I am December's bitch
I played pretty damn well at the start, then tilted on 2 hands at the end (you can see the dips) which is when I quit. One went like this: I raise 88, get one caller. I have one note on this guy: "slowroller". Flop is J72 two-toned, he checks, i bet $16 and he minraises. I call. Turn is a brick, he bets $30, i call. River is a brick, he bets $38, I call and he tables AJ.
The other was worse. I raise AQ and get two callers (i thought i only had one.) Flop is KQ9r and first guy checks, I check thinking i'm checking behind but now the other guy bets $18 or something. Fold to me, I call. Turn is a Q, SHIPIT. I bet $40, he calls. River is a brick, I bet $120, he pushes, I have to call and he shows me KQ. I should've bet/folded the flop.
I lost so many fucking hands to runner-runners it's not funny. One guy near the end raised/called my re-raise holding 25s and hit a runner-runner flush. He called the flop bet with bottom pair, bye bye to my set. This happened a couple of times. It was painful.
I'm gona go eat and do something else for a while because the Pstars server is being reset. I might play later if it's up.
Poker is silly.
It is not enough to be good at chess, you must also play well.
Somewhere in the world someone is training when you are not. When you race him, he will win.
