We are now six hours into the games. Talk to you feeling strong, despite the young herd at home that can disrupt donkey's resting hours. We are playing 500 1,000 with 100 antes. We have the headphones on and the sunglasses rolling as soon as we see our cards.
Our table is broken in their sense worth or table. This is a much tighter table.
In our fourth hand, we are on the button. Seat seven raises to 2500 and we have pocket aces. We raise two 5100. The blinds both fold and seat seven calls. The flop is a 68K rainbow. Beautiful. He could make a set with that, but it is unlikely that he has two pair. He checks and we bet 4000. He calls and the turn comes a two of hearts, completing the rainbow. I could not build a more beautiful board. We bet 12,000 and he calls. The river comes another eight. Although this gives us a great two pair, I have some fear that he has been calling with an 8. He checks. We should probably bet but if he has an 8 he will raise and take all of our money. We check and he turns over King Jack. We take it down with our races.
A few hands later Seat 3 raises to 2500 and we flat call with pocket aces again from Seat 4. We are hoping for action behind us, but all we see are 2 calls, so four of us see the flop, which is a six Queen King with 2 spades. Seat 3 checks. It's unlikely that the callers behind us have QQ or KK but they could have 66 or QK. Those are unlikely and it's best to take this down now so we bet 7500. The button raises to 17000. He could have a broad range of hands but there are only a couple that scare us. We raise to 47000 and he pushes all in. We call. He has 66. The turn is a K. The river another Q. We are headed home.
Problem was falling in love with the aces after letting people get in to the flop cheap. Very frustrated with myself.
El Donkey Sad.
More tomorrow!
