Playing freeze out: $10
Blinds : 30/60
My stack : 1450
Average stack: 2200
Not much happening, play a few pots + win them, otherwise anted away and back down to 1450 chips from a 1500 start.
Been moved to this table, sat and watched for a couple of orbits. Also getting worried to fall too low below Average stacks, and lose power of stack.
Anyway, I'm BB for (60), and
UTG calls, I have him pegged as very weak indeed. It folds around to One Donkey, and I mean
DONKEY!!, he raises upto 240(x4). Straight away I put him on, (we'll say rubbish), but in his defence he is a late position raiser?? The
guy next door calls, and I don't give him too much credit for a big hand, he is calling the
Donk!
Next up is me A-Q suited and in a flash I decided to go all in.
UTG will fold,
Donkey will call with ## and
guy between us will fold. I will be miles ahead, and get above the average stack, with which to march on with. Should they all fold, I'm also happy to take it there and then and get to around the average stack size.
UTG does fold, never in question,
Donkey calls, only question, do I have his range right? No Ak or Pair 8's or bigger, otherwise he shoves on first bet. Then
guy between us mucks instantly.
Donkey shows
qc jd v My ah qh, Yes 3-1 Fav, and pleased with my reds etc.
Question is, was my read of the table good, or could it be that I was just hoping that it would turn out that way? Can't remember too many times when things seemed so clear and cut. With three opponents in play, but I felt 100% sure of the outcome. Am I just deluded and got lucky? I think not, but with so many variables, it makes you wonder if it is just pure want. Btw, this seems to happen a lot easier and more often playing live. Any thoughts appreciated.
Oh the outcome, no improvements, that is until a jc popped up on the turn and held up, I was out, but strangely happy with my game overall. Just didn't bring the bacon home.
I guess, having left the electronic pokerworld for a few months, my return seems a little sour, what with connection probs, only on Blue Square though. Then the numerous hurdles of Donks etc which your all familiar. Get your money in ahead and hope to average a few wins?? Played 10 S'n' go's, won=2, 2nd=2, 1= third and 3 bubbles. Also won a seat to a final on Sunday, Just wondering....what kind of season is ahead? Riches? Or more Bad beats etc, that nobody really wants to know about.
So gl all, were back in the thick of it, gl for Sat ie UK Online Championship..
