Just been eliminated - AAAAAARRRRGGGGHHHH
I could go on all day about the horrendous calls ive seen and the lack of any kinda of connecting with the flop but what ultimatley did it was this:
Me:£17k
Villain: £37k
Blinds & Ante:£1.1k
Folded to villain who in pos 6 raises to £2.5k (pot now £3.6k)
With ac qh I min reraised to £5k (pot now £8.6k)
Villain, after much consideration calls (out of position)
Flop: 9d th ad
Villain Checks
I move all in for my last £12k
(I could be beaten here but villain is loose aggraesive and has raised first in a number of occasions, so given my raise was only min his range is pretty wide, of which I can beat quite a lot)
Villain calls with jh qd (open ended straight and backdoor flush - both undercards)
The turn was 4c
The River brought kc to fill his straight
Much annoyance but I guess thats the game well love to hate
Only sorry, with such support, I couldnt have lasted longer and made more of an impact.
Plenty of time to digest the detail and the many other hands, Ill come back with more once Ive calmed down.
HaworthBantam:
Unlucky Max.
You got your money in when you were ahead, so don"t beat yourself up over it.
Enjoy the rest of your time over there.
APAT:
Unlucky Max, limping into Day 2 was never going to be the best option so you had to pick a spot, and were unlucky on this occasion.
Did you get any decent photos that I could use in the newsletter?
