It’s the 12PM deep stack event at my local casino, blinds are 6K, 3K, with a 500 ante and I have around 400K – my opponent has about 350K.
We’re six handed while they are breaking tables up and have been for a few hands at this point. From UTG +2 I’m deal
I raise to 15K.
The SB is a regular player and is a rock! However, today she has been 3 and 4-betting an awful lot and I think it’s because she has been getting some cards – but maybe she’s improving a little too, it’s hard to say.
She 3-bets to 30K.
This is the point in the hand where I could have saved myself a lot of chips by folding. But I’m deep and in position 6 handed with a flop primed hand. But since she’s a rock, I’m pretty sure she’s in the premium range. Anyway, I call.
She bets 60K in the dark. Quiz: What does a rock bet in the dark? Oh yeah, one hand right? I now know she’s not only in the premium range, but has the premium of premiums.
Flop:
I flat the 60K because I know she can’t fold. Her stack is nearly comparable to mine and if she catches I would like to be able to get way from this. I may be thinking about this wrong too though – would a shove or 3-bet be +EV?
Turn:
She bets 100K. I call, a little reluctantly, I would prefer a free card here and I’m willing to give her one...but, no joy!
River:
F UCK!!!
She goes all-in and I fold. She shows the aces and giggles a little; I’m thinking “no shit”, but whatever.
Anyway, I got myself into this mess by calling pre-flop when I knew I was behind. I justified it with position and a better than average hand - six handed. I guess I’m lucky I didn’t lose my whole stack. I would have loved to shove the flop but then I lose because she will call; there’s nothing I can do to make her fold and I knew it – so I did lose the minimum once I called pre, but that minimum was still half my stack. Obviously I wish I had folded pre in hindsight, but I’m sitting on a 30M stack, I think I’m playing suited J 10’s with position; what does everyone think?
