Warm down Journal for Sunday 31/08:
Just a quick post to get the frustration out of my system today...
These hands are in no particular order, so let me get the most annoying one out the way!
Very late into my session, in fact I was playing my last orbit before I called it a day, I get dealt JJ, it folds around to me in late position, I open to £4. Young Chinese fish (who I lost a £400 pot to earlier -a hand which I will come on to), jams his short stack of £24 blind, old tight passive lady to his immediate left calls £24 with about £30 behind (lol yeah she was horrific), the button to her immediate left very quickly isolates making it £100, although I did not know too much about this guy, he seemed to be somewhat competent but an absolute obnoxious moron, the type of guy who would criticize and "school" other players and just act like a complete cunt.
Even though my usual open is to £4, most players open slightly bigger with a value range, so this guy may have incorrectly ranged me, but even so with the action as it stood I didn't feel good about stacking off with JJ in this spot, so I folded.
The board ran out xJxQx, the guy who isolated had AQ and won against the old lady, who put the rest of her stack in pre with AK, we didn't get to see what the Chinese fish had.
This hand is so frustrating in so many ways, but I will let it go now. Done. All I can take from it is, even at the rear end of a super frustrating session, stuck a couple of buy ins, after taking a pretty brutal beat for a £400 pot earlier, I can still find a fold in spots like this!
Hand vs Chinese Fish:
Chinese fish limps in early position, cut off limps, I iso to £6 on the button with KJ off, small blind calls, both the limpers call, we go to the flop 4 way.
Flop, 109Q (2 diamonds), action checks to me, I bet £18, small blind calls, Chinese fish calls, cut off folds. 3 way to the turn, which was a K.
Action checks to me I bet £40, small blind jams for £100ish, Chinese fish re jams for £150, I have both covered and call. River is a diamond.
I lose to Kd4d. Sigh.
Other hands of interest:
*I open 77 UTG to £4, get two callers in position to me. Flop A7x (2 hearts), I bet £8, get one call and one fold. Turn 8 of hearts, I bet £17, and get a tank call (looked a little moody). River was a black K, I check, villain checks behind. I win. I may of missed some value vs an ace, I got to stop fearing getting raised, it rarely happens and when it does I will usually be beat and can fold.
*Limper and poster gets isolated to £3 by button, small blind calls, I squeeze to £15 with 35 suited, limper calls, poster folds, button calls, small blind folds. Flop is Q67, action checks around.
Turn 4 (I make a straight), I bet £30 both villains folds.
I was card dead for most of the night, I am again happy with my composure and ability to watch complete tools make nutted hands and build stacks.
100 sessions (2 down), lets see the bottom line then.
