Two little ducks get fu......

I said that I wouldn’t bore you too much with the days to day hum-drum hands and figures. Well that rule didn’t last long!

I had the misfortune to lose the single biggest cash pot I’ve ever lost today, so that’s got to be worth a post hasn’t it?

I’d had a fairly dull morning session on £2/5 running 3 tables with no action. I decide I needed to do something else and took the opportunity get a few jobs out of the way over my lunch break. A few hours later I returned and spotted some value on a £5/10 table that looked a little lively, so I jumped in and kicked another £2/5 session off. I then proceeded to hit the deck in the face on both tables and within an hour I’d doubled to £2000 on 5/10 and trebled to £1600 on 2/5… lovely!

On reflection I should have jumped ship with the £1000 profit on 5/10, as I told Rob in the comments on my last post, I rarely venture into £5/10. Anyway, to cut a long story short I ran slap bang into the other guy on the table who was anywhere near covering my stack with 22 on a 2s 4d Qs flop... all the money went in on the flop for a £3615 pot! He flips 44.

Maybe I could have got away from his re-raise all-in, but I’m with Harrington when it comes to laying down sets on those kind of flops... I don’t!

You see people get the money in with far less time after time, imo it’s a loosing play laying down this hand in the long run. I probably walk into set over set about once or twice a month. I view it as an expense and I usually pay them off.

It didn’t upset me that much to be honest. It’s not like I got sucked out and I’d basically lost most of what I’d won in the previous hour… easy come, easy go!

The only frustrating thing is that it happened in the biggest game I’d played for some time, while I’m sat with over £2k and against the other big stack at the table.

Them’s the breaks.

Good luck
