We never did mention how our latest Sunday night weekly championship went at National League of Poker. We qualified through that (ahem) fifth-place finish in a big Wednesday night game. And things looked promising, when we were dealt an Ace four times early in the game.
:04 IN: We have A-8, and call a raise to 300. The flop is 2-6-Q. We call a bet of 90. But the turn is a 5, and a bet of 190 chases us away.
:05 IN: We have As-3d. The flop is 7-Q-J, all spades. Several players check. The turn is 5s, giving us the nut flush! But when we try to offer a modest bet of 100, the table folds. Oh well; we gain about $100.
:07 IN: We have A-9, and choose to limp. The flop is K-4-Q, followed by a 5. Big bets run us away.
:09 IN: We have A-10 offsuit in the small blind. We elect to lay low and simply call.
ON THE FLOP: A-6-9
Top pair looks good -- until another player bets big. We conclude it's a "go-away" bet that's built on a bluff, so we go all in. Not smart; our opponent has A-K, and our 10 never does pair.
Ten minutes of work earned us absolutely nothing -- position #1,309 out f 1,453 players. Clearly we have work to do.
