Presenting the fish of the day: ME
December 7, 2007
Having come over all a quiver with excitement after running through $200 in the $3 Bankroll Challenge, I last night got stacked not once, not twice, but three times. Ouch!
Previously I’ve been the one enjoying a fish-feeding frenzy, but last night I inexplicably grew my own gills and fins and gave my cash away faster than a Northern Rock finance director.
Looking back I played the session across four tables far too loosely, which is not a great idea. And when I did hit big time I guess I slowed down too much in the hope of trapping others into a big pot. Unfortunately this twice meant my flopped nuts were overtaken on the turn or river (both full houses, both trumped by higher full houses).
Had I played the flop stronger then I could have escaped, but having said that this trappy style is exactly the sort of play that has grown my stack so nicely up to now. I guess I’ll put last night down to a nasty case of variance!
One nice thing I did was to get away from my ace-high flush on a paired board, folding correctly to the shown rivered full house (now he was a fish!). Small consolation, though.
So, I’m back down to $170. I’ve the got the weekend ahead to get through $200 again, and then I must press on to $400, where I’ve promised myself the luxury of the 10c/25c tables.
Oh, the joy!
Current roll: $173
