Having been rebourn into poker this week after a long break, I've enjoyed some decent low stake tournys and last night I folded plenty of good looking hands pre flop !!
JJ, 66, AQ and kings with a mid stack around 25k against very low stakes and 40,50,60k players the idea was not to bust out, yet in playing defensive I would have taken them all down in hind sight and sat with a major stack myself.
I got lucky with ace 8 on the bb when a big stack kept stealing my blind with the bb sitting at 2.5k-1.5k I pushed in and survived against 10s - then my final hand 7's I raised to 5k CAUTIOUS raise and only two callers OK flop drops ace,7,6 I'm first to play and hopefully somebody is playing rag ace ??
5k into the pot (bad small bet) bb calls he has 147,000 chips and queen pops out I raise 35k all in, he calls with 9-5 and you can get the rest !!
Looking back my initial raise was poor and left myself open to a poor hand gamble, out in 302nd place 4hrs in 5202 players kinda gutted but a good solid session with no boredom and no temptation to play rags !!
