Update
Today was great!
I have taken a leaf out of Bob Golding’s ‘School of Poker’, advice line.
(See Bob’s comments and advice at Bob’s Comment). Naturally I and ignored everything he said and did much better than usual.
Ok, I got knocked out with suited Ace, Queen at the end of the day but I out-lasted and did better than 1,670 entrants. If I hadn’t made a move then I would have risked being blinded out; so it was definitely the right thing to do, especially as 6 other players had entered the pot – giving me superb pot odds.
Only had the one bad-beat early in the tournament but as I had already doubled up I was not in any risk of being knocked out. The really weird thing though was that I had pocket Queens against Pocket Jacks and the exact same thing happened as it did the other day. I hit top trips on the flop and raised. The guy re-raised all in so I called. At this point I am 92% favourite.
He then stated walking and had to be called back from the car park as het made a flush with runner,runner spades. Just like Saturday. Freaky… See hand below.
