Tales of the Honeybadger
Honeybadg:
Fox Super Saturday (re-entry)
The joys of re-entry are many ... so are the woes ... as I managed to get knocked out by the same player twice!
The first exit was avoidable - but give the table dynamics and bet sizing difficult.
Blinds 50/100 ... his standard raise was to 525 ... I call with AK in position ... flop 89T all spades ... I have the Ace of spades ... he bets out ... I call ... turn is a brick ... he bets out ... I can jam ... but I choose to fold ... he shows QQ including the spade ... so was never folding ... one of the other players would have flopped a flush so pretty thin in any case ... next hand ... he raises to 525 ... and is flat called ... I raise to 2025 with KK ... he calls ... flop is 9TJ with a flush draw ... fantastic ... he checks ... I bet ... he goes all in ... of course there are reasons to fold here but I really don"t believe him ... which is a shame as he flicks over the KQo ... loose call ... full value ...
I re-enter and have fun building a stack ... until the villain is moved to my table ... we have been clashing before my exit hand ... which runs as follows ... I start with c46BB ... 500/1000 (75) ... he bets 3000 ... I call on the button ... with QJo ... flop is KT9 with a flush draw ... he bets 5000 ... I re-raise to 17,500 ... he tanks before making the call ... turn is a K and he insta shoves ... flipping KJ ... c95BB in the middle ... chip lead ... err no ... river is the brutal T to fill him up ...
Sick ...

Honeybadg:
Of course the best remedy is to get back on the horse ...
... unless the horse is an evil beast ... selected a deepstack heads up ... looking like the trivial win when I get it all in with 98 into 982 ... vs the call of the century AKo ... K on the turn ... A on the river ... still 70% of starting stack ... and pretty deep ... so plenty of time to lose with a set to the rivered straight and then to ram 66 into TT ...
It"s all a sign that I should be working ... smile ... sigh ... smile ...
Next up the Genting online next Sunday ... enough time for my mind to delete this weekend"s poker ...

Honeybadg:
My brain is not for sleeping ... it"s probably good in terms of being awake to play the Genting Online on Sunday ...
It"s certainly bad for work tomorrow!
Unless I write a wonderous to do list that is ...
1. Go to bed ...
To be continued.

Obvious KK vs AQ exit in the Big $55 ... quite a struggle at the moment ... run good tomorrow in the Genting??
