Day Four 1/2 - A Quickie

Well this morning I got up at 11am, grabbed some breakfast inhouse and went down to play in the Imperial Palace game.

I'm updating the blog now as I want to record a specific hand before I forget details, and also update you on my latest session!

I was in late position and looked down at QQ, 3rd best starting hand pre-flop! It's folded round to me, so I raise it up to 10 bucks. The one guy to my left annoyingly calls, meaning he has last position after the flop, and then it's the big blinds turn.

The guy in the big blind is from London. He sits down with $300 a time as I've seen him a few times now. Last night he lost all $300 with a full house on a KK862 board. He had K6 and someone else had K8. OUCH! Anyway he raised it up to $40!!! Grrrrrrr.

So I wasn't sure where I was. I figured he'd do this with JJ, TT or even AK to try and take the pot from me as he knows I'm a tight player. Saying that I strongly figured he was on AA or KK due to the way I've seen him play. Stupidly, I called. I think this was a bad call, but I'm not too sure.

Anyway the flop comes 2JQ. He bets out $50, I put in the rest of my chips. Before he called I put him specifically on KK. He calls my all in and shows the KK! My set of queens hold up and I walk away with $380 and change.

I left the table pretty soon after. It got real tight and I won a few hands with pre flop raises and everyone folding. I'm happy I managed to get another good winning session under my belt, but am a bit miffed I made a pre-flop call of $40 when I knew I was behind! That's bad poker and the winning doesn't justify the wrong play.

Will update again tonight and hopefully will have something more than poker on my mind :) Think I'm going to go book a couple of shows and see a few new places! Next week will be shopping, shows, grand canyon, but definitely more poker!

See ya!
