I Played the Very Josie tournament tonight instead of the Dank/Mookie. I started off well and was up to just over 4000 chips early when I got dealt pocket Aces on the button. With blinds at 30/60 I raised to 140 hoping to get 1 caller. SB folded. BB called (Prettcat although she wasn't so pretty after this hand). Flop comes JJK. I bet 310(pot). Prettycat called (thought she had a King). Turn was a Q. I bet 930(pot). She raised all in. I thought KQ perfect. I called . She had J9. Damn. To put the icing on the cake she hit another Jack on the river. Quad Jacks beat my Jacks over damn aces.. Okay I played that okay I thought until she raised all in . What was I thinking?? She had to have a Jack. Why did I call?? You see what Aces do. Then to top it all of I asked if she would give my chips back and she wouldn't. So I told Memphis to get them and he did later. Congrats Memphis on your win. Us old guys got to stick together. Oh yea and then someone who shall not get a hyperlink commented from the peanut gallery its because I don't know how to play Aces. After that comment good luck at getting hyperlinks. Ha Ha
That didn't end my night but I was out soon after when my pocket deuces got called by 6-4 and High on Poker hit his 4. Figures a lawyer calls with 6-4. Must not have enough billable hours this month and needed my 2.00 bounty. Okay yea I would have called too as my shove wasn't huge.
Then as I type this the Canucks were down 2-0 but now its 3-2 Hawks at the end of the second. It ends 5-2. Credit the goalie of Chicago for keeping them in it in the first again. Also give the refs a star for not calling goalie interference on two of the Chicago goals but having said that Chicago was the better team last night but the series isn't over yet.
The only positive thing yesterday was I did win the two SNGs I played before the very Josie tournament. Probably because I didn't get Aces in either.
COOP
Aces 5/12
HA! You played that so bad. She who shall not be linked is correct. :P. Better luck next time.
ReplyDeleteyou got beaten down by one sister with AA and I took my beaten from the other sister with KK. Where is 7 - 2 offsuit when you need it!!
ReplyDeleteCoop,;), thanks for letting me have my moment. Haven't had such a thrill in ages!
ReplyDelete@ waffles
ReplyDeleteI did play that so bad.. She has to earn her links
@ fmarra17
ReplyDeleteYea I might start jamming with 7-2. It might work. LOL. Those damn sisters!!! ha
@ Cricket
ReplyDeleteI am really glad you had a MOMENT. Anything to make a lady happy........
You and Pirate Lawyer need to get past that goalie interference stuff. It's a man's game, you know. : o )
ReplyDeleteI was surprised the Canucks were so flat. I certainly expect a much better effort from them in game four.
Oh yeah -- I retain my standing as the first and youngest winner of the Very Josie, which I believe should be renamed, to the Vaj.
Okay I played that okay I thought until she raised all in.
ReplyDeleteNOPE. If you had raise to 300 (5 times the big blind) Ms. J-9 would never have called that preflop. Dontcha think there's a reason why YOU lose 50% of the time with AA? I do!
Hugs & Kisses!
@lightning36
ReplyDeleteYea they wee flast except for the first 15 minutes and then Chicago took over. I think Josie would love that name.
@ Josie
ReplyDeleteSo your telling me you don't like a caller with AA because that's what would have happened. Sure she hit her Jack (shit happens)and I would have raised that much in an early position but I was on the button and wanted to pick up more than the measly blinds. Sure I was greedy and it cost me this time.
For the hugs you get a link.
Yes Coop. I'm telling you with pocket aces you either win a little or lose ALOT. I'm telling you raising to 5 times the big blinds eliminates going up against drawing hands like J-9. Jeez, your 5-12 with AA for a reason. And I dunno why you don't count the hands where everyone folds down to you when you hold AA. That's a win right there. I'm going to teach an old dog new tricks! You need to take command of the hands you are in. Force Cricket to make tough decisions preflop and fold those fuckers. (fold that hand isn't a tough decision in my book)
ReplyDeleteBTW you look very young today! And I cannot WAIT for my link. It better not be the last word of the post!!!
Figures a lawyer calls with 6-4. Must not have enough billable hours this month and needed my 2.00 bounty.
ReplyDeleteLOL That's some funny stuff right there!
@ Josie
ReplyDeleteWe have a difference of opinion on the Aces I see but that's okay. I agree on the lose a lot part though.
As for the lawyer well you know lawyers
