Lately I have been on one of the worst losing streaks I can remember, on Jan 5th 2013 I had a cash for $1100 and that has been it for the year. I’ve had a total of 24 tournaments in a row with no cash totaling $5665 in buy-ins which also makes it one of the worst financial slides I have experienced at my stakes. My head has been all tied up in knots and I actually took 3 weeks off, putting myself on the bench if you will, but returned to the lineup yesterday.
Last night I finally came out of the slump and won a $200 live Saturday tournament with 118 players at my local casino. It was interesting because everything clicked right along; I hardly ever make Ace high calls but in this game I did so on three separate occasions and was right each and every time – things were going my way all day and I was playing very well. I did have the added benefit of receiving some hands at the right time and positions and that helped as well, but there is one hand that took place that I would like to see what everyone’s thoughts are.
We got down to the final four players and I had about $950K of the $4.1 Million chips in play. 2 other players were close to my stack but probably around $700K each and the chip leader had ~$1.7-$1.8 Million chips. Blinds were $15K and $30K with a $3K ante and I was simultaneously in the cutoff and UTG.
I’m dealt and open raise to $80K. The button calls and does the SB, who is the chip leader, with better than 2:1 on my stack.
Pot: $282K
Flop:
The SB checks to me and I bet $120K. The button calls the $120 making the pot $522K and the SB moves all-in.
What do you think? I’ll post the results later.
