I am far from an expert, but why didn't you charge "ole grey hair" to see the river? I would think that this hand could have been played a few different ways. Maybe 3! pre to $50 and iso the action guy. Any bet post flop wins the pot. Or 3! the flop bet to $100. I am not criticizing the play, but trying to understand your thinking.

If he raises he can only get called by better.

He played the hand fine.

Sometimes the board just runs out bad for your hand.

Truly not sure if my line could hv been better. 3betting pre was an option, but i respected the ep 7.5x raise. At the same time wanted to underrep my hand against this ole siver hair action/call happy player.

-Maybe raise otf instead of me walking the dog by calling.
-Turn club was a card killer for me, so played it safe and just called hoping the river is a brick.
-Cd hv bet otr but i considered the call station player.

Poker is a gd brain game w many options. I love it even when it doesn't work out. Ok...perhaps i dont love it when i get outrran.

Next...

Glad Easter weekend is here! I def need this time to better realign my priorities, and reflect on the great importance of life.

Losing -800 in a session is gut wrenching.

$11k hunting for the 2nd time.

It's moving quicker than I expected w the closing on The Melody. Appraisal schedule for tomorrow. Just a matter of time before poker will become my one and only job. Scary and exciting at the same time.

It's a little easier with cash in the bank.

it won't be in there long. I'll be near broke at the end of the year

April's Edition to the #40k vlog coming soon.

huh? What did I miss?

Getting a divorce?

He's married?

really enjoying this thread, just found your youtube videos

dude be careful with the staff you never want to cut down on your choices to make $ which are obviously limited in your area.

i hate tipping more than a dollar but i'm shamed into doing it on large pots (2). No tipping for small pots.

They're not married. Unless he did this without letting us know.

U missed nuttin, but the plan is to be near broke at the end of the year.

Not married. Been thinking about if I shd, but I just can't pull the trigger.
Is that bad?

Thanks man.
Do u play at Hammond often? If so, how often does the 5/t spread?

Currently on that grind.
Had a gd last couple of days that got me past 12k mark. Now just trying to close in on 13k.
Currently up 100+ish after the first hour.



I'll report back in a couple and let u know how the sesh is goin. Maybe throw in a hh.

why?

The plan is to unload all the money on one thing. Leaving me only w a few thousand.

well good luck with that venture, whatever it is.

Just got coolered.
Limped the $5 button straddle in sb w AA and got 4 limps. The action button guy tank checks. Well, that plan backfired until...

Flop 22A. I check, mp bets $10, button calls, I raise to $40. Folded to button who calls.

Heads up. Turn is 2.
I check not liking this card at all but I just can't find the fold button . I call the button $45 bet.

River 10. I check/call $150 hoping he had the Ace and not the 2.

Four Deuces > Aces full deuces.

Man what a bad turn! I felt him if the deuce doesn't turn.

-$200

^ Maybe I cd hv bet $60ish otr and fold to a raise?

At least I wd lose less.

Or maybe just ch/fold to his $150???? Is that possible

-$100ish current status.

why check raise near pot with a flopped boat?
