When You Think Too Much (cash)

LAYDOWN

Sometimes you think players are smarter than they really are. And sometimes, you laydown a hand thinking they've got you beat, but in reality, you've got them killed. I had the feeling my opponent had the best of me when he check-raised on the turn. I guess most people don't suspect you have aces when you raise pre-flop and bet on the flop. I have to remember that next time. This hand is probably one of the worst laydowns I've made. I'm just glad the limits were low. It's definitely better to make mistakes at this level.

Just Another Big Stack Suckout (tourney)

BAD BEAT

I was just an 85% favorite on the flop and in Omaha, that's not that much I guess. But look at the cards that the big stack ends up getting on the turn and river.

I Hit Two-Outer (cash)

GOOD BEAT

This is the type of beat I usually get handed, but this time, the roles were reversed. Not only did I hit my card, but I check-raised the poor guy. That's what he gets for calling with A8 unsuited. I don't care that he's on the button, but I may actually try that move one of these days.

Flopped Straight Flush (cash)

I think this is the first time I've ever flopped a straight flush. I just wish my opponent had the ace of hearts.

WBCOOP 2011

Yup, here comes the only poker blogger tourney I know of. I've replaced the old link with a new one, so it won't take you to the 2010 page anymore. That's over and done with. As they say, out with the old, in with the new.
