misread my hand and it cost me
Playing in a tournament with friends last night for cash and the group trophy cup that we have. Getting your name on the trophy means more than the money to most, including me....We are partnered up. You play 5 hands and then your partner takes over and plays 5 etc...
Down to HU, my partner and I vs. another "team". We hold a slight chip lead going into this hand. I look at my cards and see K-3 o/s. No raises preflop by either and the board comes A-A-4.
Checked to me, I put an overbet out there...Fella thinks about it, raises all in and I snap call. I throw over my cards and to my absolute horror, it's a K-3. "What the hell is this?" I think to myself, "I swear I had K-4!!"
Anyway, opponent tables 10-4, wins the pot and decimates us. It gets better...I'm reeling at what just happened, I go all in blind on the next hand and double up. "Okay, one more and we have a fighting chance". All in again the next hand, I pair up to go ahead and then kaboom, fate intervenes and we are rivered to lose the game and the trophy.
Words cannot express how depressed it made me. It wouldn't have been so bad if it was just me on my own, but my partner was paramount in getting us to where we were and I let him down with a blunder like that.
I was in a poo-poo mood all day today but one positive thing came out of this, a valuable lesson. I will double check my hole cards every single time before I bet now...

can you reword? I don't follow you..
Maybe he's telling the truth.....
Maybe he's lying.......
Y OH Y
You should come to Kitchener for the Royal Cup.
Milton Slim
echo that, and oh yea, we have a 2nd Milton team that is still short 2 players... You would be most welcome..
I decided to have a snooze in my truck and made my way over to fallsview and try a higher stakes game. $50 - $100.
After 6 hrs I was ready to leave with the 6K I had managed to reap from both places.
9 players sitting at the table with me in seat 6. 7 was vacant. I was on the button as it was my final hand. I peaked to find Q-Q and limped in like everyone else. Flop. 6s 2c Qh. Hmmm Trip Queens nice. Seat 10 raised $500. The kid in seat 3 who I have named the WEASLE calls. I figured the guy in seat 10 for the Rockets but wtf is the weasle holding. Pocket sixes or Dueces I figured. I raised to 1500 and both called.
Turn Card 6c. Seat 10 pushes his stack in right away. I know he now has the aces as no one would get that excited. Now the weasle looks uneasy as he ponders what to do. Faced with a 4k raise I figure he has the deuces and has now hit his boat. He decides to push. This call will cost me everything I had spent the last 20 or so hours building. but 18k in the pot if I call with my Queens full. My mind started to wander, Thinking about finishing my rec room finally and the nice poker table and flat screen I would have down there. I made the call.
Only seat 10 had 80.00 in chips left. We opened up. Seat 10 had the aces just like I had figured. The weasle had 6d-2h. The river was turned and I knew it was coming. that sinking feeling after you make the call.
6h for quads.
I should have raised to 1500 right off the start and I should have kept my thoughts on the cards.:o
Meaning?
i don't understand how u can move from 1/2 to 50/100.. that's crazy.. i would had stopped at 10/20
Gonna have to call bullshit on this story.
