swinebag's blog - proof that teachers have too much time on their hands!!
Swinebag:
Thanks for the kind comments so far
Anyway, based on how part 2 finished, part 3 is very short
PART 3 - "Poker genius/Donk" balance restored
Sunday night, just got back from the cricket at Old Trafford and was pretty quite drunk. Not as Drunk as Superman, Robin (without batman), The Gimp from Pulp Fiction and Scooby doo though, but still drunk enough to convince myself that I now had poker cracked and that qualifying for the Virgin Festival would be a formality.
Second hand in, blinds 10/20, stacks 2000 (i think). I get 10 10 in MP, folded to me, i raise to 90, called by BB. Flop 882 rainbow. BB leads out for 150, I raise to 500, BB allin, I call!!!!!! :o :o
BB shows 78o (my second favourite hand btw), no improvement for me and Virgin festival qualification delayed again.
If this had been a freeroll or a rebuy (or a low stakes turbo - maybe), then calling allin, I think, would have been a reasonable play, because people do overplay lower pairs on a paired board. However, these Virgin festival satellites are tough and I"m rarely ahead in this situation. So..............
"Poker genius/Donk" balance restored
