Am I a big donkey or what? He played me like a harp

Also..these sit and goes pay 4 places..so I ended up bubble boy too..Nice Eh

I call on the river would be the best move
simply because only a hand that beats you is going to call the all in.

[alby_00]

The reason I reraised is because I really thought I had caught a fish. He had been playing loose and wild, calling to river with top pair and such.. Do I think I made a mistake by reraising..Hell Yes..I put him on AK then zoned out.. Not very smart poker by me.

[Assistanc3]

always remember that the fish can pick up big hands too
ok yes he was a fish, but you don't have to risk your tournament life on that chance


when ever I am faced with a decsion , be it tough or tougher I remind myself with this
risk vs reward, opertunity vs chance

[alby_00]

I know, I just got excited at the fact I trapped the nut and I never really thought about risk period.. I was thinking like a fish.. def. not multi level thinking like I prefer to play...

I did almost the same thing in a live $25 satelite the other night..2nd hand..lol

I had A 3 hearts and limped in middle position..flop came 3,10,3....I checked button raised and i reraise 3x...turn came out 10....I never even thought about it..I pushed in a pot sized bet and she called.....river was a queen...i bet she raised...I insta pushed...she looked at me and said "if you got the quad 3's thats too bad for me" and calls...then I see the board and know I'm screwed...she has to have a 10...yes of course she did....

In my defense I had a few beer and just smoked a little something before this game started..not a good idea, but i was there for the social night as much as anything....stupid donkey play though..I don't make many like this.

I gave myself a slap.
I did rebuy and I won a seat in the $230 buy-in on Saturday night.

it isnt the easiest thing to do... to always play 'the best poker' your capable of playing
specially when the mind is fixed on one thing

[alby_00]

It seems like I am not seeing the big picture the last few days...Its really funny but this has happened before...usually after i've been hot for a little bit, it seems like I get lazy and just figure every one is just going to give their chips to me..Time to buckle down and take my head outa my hiney I think thats the prescription for my woes.

:sad:

I feel I play better when instead of looking at how good my hand is I look to see how many hands can beat me, I think looking for a reason to fold a hand might be the way to go, Everytime I think I should win or expect to win that is when I get myself in trouble.

AJ is right at times you may need to take a minute and really think, the problem is a lot of players including myself at time doesn't realise at times you need to lay down a particular hand, ok you may fold the winning hand but in long run you will profit from this
