Today’s Game
Just completed my 1st game of the day, been un-able to play until, so have only managed one game today. I came 2nd which I’m happy with as the chip leader had around a 5:1 advantage when we became heads-up, I battled for awhile, but just couldn’t double up enough to take the win. The final hand I moved all-in with Ax, was called by pocket tens, I made top pair on the river, but the same ace gave my opponent the nut straight.
I think I played really well in this game also and am keen to see if I can keep it up after having so many up and downs lately.
Two hands I think, I may have played too passively though :
1. This was the very first hand of the tournament. I didn’t want to raise it up so early, but thought my hand was worth seeing a flop with, especially with only a minimum raise out in front, a higher raise and I would have folded pre-flop. I make top pair, but didn’t want to risk too many chips, in case someone held an 8 and wanted to check-raise, otherwise I may have made a bet around 2/3 the size of the pot. When the king came, I didn’t even hold top pair so had an easy lay down. Should I have played this more aggressive on the flop ?

With refference to my previous post about loosing a buy-in, as I wasn’t able to take part in a sit-n-go I registered for, I have just got a further reply back from Poker Stars informing me that they have given me my buy-in and my fee back, even though they don’t accept responsability for it as part of their policy, which was very nice of them and makes me feel that bit better about yesterdays win.
Thank you Poker Stars
