Damn fish

Oh well, I guess the fish get the better of me every now and again. Up to this point, I'd barely played a hand. Limped into pots every now and again, and folded every time after the flop. One would have though that my all-in bet would have alerted the player that I had an ace. The guy has 649 games under his belt, you'd have thought he'd know he was behind. I guess not. I suppose that's why he consistantly loses.

Early chip lead

Just played a game where I did so badly. I knocked 2 people out early on. After 3 or 4 hands, I had 3,000 chips. But, I think I played too loose and frittered them all away. I finished 5th. I should to continue playing my ABC poker, no matter how many chips I have.

Wrong spot

I'm very patient, but I just keep picking the wrong spot to put all my chips in:

Critical pots

I seem to keep losing critical pots at the moment. Had I won this, I'd have been certain to make the money. If I'd have been in Duke's position, I'd have never called with a weak ace. With this move, I was hoping to steal the blinds.

Bluffing the all-in guy

I thought I'd played this hand perfectly until I was outplayed by a spectacular bluff. I just don't think people realise that when someone is all-in, they can't be bluffed, lol.

If the cards...

If the cards don't go for you, there's not a lot you can do about it. I hung on for ages in this game. Picked my spot and was in a good position to double up. But, alas, not to be.

Blimey, I don't play for a month. 5 hands into an STT and this happens. I should be staying away!
