Poker Musings, Vol. 3 - Gracious but Vindictive in Defeat
I have no intention of turning this into a bad beat diary. But seriously...I Run Beautiful...
PokerStars Game #1875xxxxxxx: Tournament #95xxxxxx, $10+$1 Hold'em No Limit - Level II (15/30)
Seat #5 is the button
Seat 1: MAXBOOM (1580 in chips)
Seat 2:(1080 in chips)
Seat 3:(1710 in chips)
Seat 4:(540 in chips)
Seat 5:(2830 in chips)
Seat 6:(1480 in chips)
Seat 9: Lescelleur (4280 in chips)
Seat 6: posts small blind 15
Lescelleur: posts big blind 30
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to MAXBOOM [8d Ad]
MAXBOOM: calls 30 [Loose, to be sure, but the table was virginally tight except for Mr. Les, who was being the table bully and raising everything very big and was also in the big blind.]
seat 3: folds
seat 4: folds
seat 5: folds
seat 6: folds
seat 7: calls 15
Lescelleur: raises 90 to 120 [we hoped for this! Nay! We orchestrated this cheap ass move from the big blind. Sorry, Les, in this world, you get outed]
MAXBOOM: raises 1460 to 1580 and is all-in
seat 7: folds
Lescelleur: calls 1460
*** FLOP *** [7h Kc Kd]
*** TURN *** [7h Kc Kd] [7s]
*** RIVER *** [7h Kc Kd 7s] [Jc]
*** SHOW DOWN ***
Lescelleur: shows [8s 7c] (a full house, Sevens full of Kings)
MAXBOOM: shows [8d Ad] (two pair, Kings and Sevens)
MAXBOOM said, "gg" [Gracious, even in defeat.]
Lescelleur said, "wow" [You forgot to type the rest, so I'll complete... "wow, I suck."]
The case could be made that his range was broad. My observation was he didn't play his monster hands this way (a 2 monster hand sample, admittedly not a lot of intel.) He could have had AA. Or a number of hands that had me beat. I thought my hand was a favorite over his range to make that particular bet in his own big blind. I also thought that absent a monster he could fold. I was right. And wrong.
I made a parallel judgement--
Largest junk = best broad. See Ms. Fire for confirmation.
Largest cards = best hand. See Game #1875xxxxxxx for rebuttal.
Some skills aren't absolute.
Deep breath... we play this game until infinity. Eventually, proper play will be a positive investment... Proper junk is still reaping rewards.
Ugh.
