Monday Update

Had a bit of a terrible day yesterday, dropped about $80 mainly at Rush NLH, reviewing the hands there was a lot of bad luck e.g. ak losing on an AKJ flop to AA and 10s10d losing on an a low all diamond flop to AdQc…

However looking at through the hands there are 2 I want to review, the first one im not sure about

Q8dd

so off course the you may say why are you coming in on a raised pot with Q8 which of course Is a fair comment but of course the decision here is should I get the shortie all in with top pair, shit kicker and flush draw on the flop?

Secondly I know this is terrible, for a start I have a double stack (by my halfstacking standards!) but the thing is I seemed to be convinced that the shortie could have an thing from a small pair upwards and then I got it into my head that the other guy was just squeezing – just a total mess, im very surprised that AA or KK didn’t show up so I wasn’t in awful shape but as usual when I have AK and the villain has QQ the Q always flops!!.

Made a bit on staking and had a mate transfer me £20 he owed over Full Tilt so this is shown in figures…. Need to grind loads this week and try and get some of this bonus cleared!
