Hey guys,
So I played the sunday storm for the first time today
Busted out in a lowly 12 thousandth of 40 thousand :/
I raised on the button with 94 suited trying to steal the blinds, (2.5x bet)
BB called and I flopped two pair
9 4 J rainbow
BB checks to me so I bet a lil over half pot.
He calls my bet. and the next card is a 6
he checks again
I again bet a lil over half pot and he shoves on me.
I called and he turns over JJ (I would have expected a reraise from him)
I called because he shoved AJ on J 7 2 board a few hands previously
Start of the hand I had about 22k and he had 24-5k, blinds 300/600
I had been playing tight and aggressive for the first 2 hours,
was 450th in chips at one point. I felt good.
So now im here licking my wounds and feeling sorry that a chance at 30k has slipped away.
Maybe trying to steal the blinds wasnt the right play as I didnt really need too as my tourney wasnt in danger, but I thought better to do it now then when I cant get away from my hand (ironic I know)
Does anyone else find it hard to get away from two pair like this?
