Oh I Got Lucky





This is the monthly freeroll for qualifiers from the weekly Saturday Night $4.30 Buy-In.

I made a nasty suck-out on the river HU for a set. My opponent had slowplayed AA and it fooled me. There was no way to see it coming as the entire FT he was playing fast and loose. He started last 10 with lead (I was 2nd) and he was frustrating me because he wouldn't throttle it down at all. This lead to him doubling four players and making it a six to seven player game when it should have been a three to five at best. The game paid four spots.

So I took my bit of fortune and ran with it as I had started the HU as about a 4-1 dog. I think it threw him off kilter. He bluffed all-in on final hand when he missed his flush and I made pretty easy call with trip aces. I have lost about 200 hands the way he lost this one HU and have gotten out of sorts myself. I still remember the OPT game where it happened, I documented it on the tournament lobby and saved it as a reminder.

My new stat of charting my "sharp tongue" shows me at 10 good days and 3 not so good days so far this year hehe. Have made four total comments for the three bad days but it only takes one sharp or sarcastic one to count.Of course I grade myself pretty tough. At this pace I will have 84 bad days, have to work at this a little harder.
