Stuck

So, my playing schedule has been erratic the last two months (holidays, changing schedules with the kids, etc.) but for a while I was on a terrific run, so much so that I sold a million play chips for cash.

Apparently the Poker Gods didn't like that.

PokerStars Game #14172191393: Hold'em No Limit (100/200) - 2007/12/29 - 04:00:45 (ET)

*** SUMMARY ***

Total pot 103600 Main pot 20300. Side pot-1 66300. Side pot-2 17000. | Rake 0

Board [Th Ac  Kh 9c Kd ]

Seat 1: uncle arty showed [Qc Jc ] and won (20300) with a straight, Ten to Ace

Seat 2: coophov showed [4h Jh ] and lost with a pair of Kings

Seat 3: olerivrat folded before Flop

Seat 4: crafty_duece showed [Ah Js ] and won (83300) with two pair, Aces and Kings

Seat 5: 2fives folded before Flop (didn't bet)

Seat 6: pearl62182 (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet)

Seat 7: cary1v (small blind) folded before Flop

Seat 8: SS.Chicago (big blind) folded on the Flop

Seat 9: phantommut showed [Ad Ts ] and lost with two pair, Aces and Kings

Now, on the flop I of course figured the straight was a possibility, and I assumed Uncle Artie had it when he called all-in, but his stack was insignificant and I knew no one else had it when the rest of the motley crew just called my overbet of the pot on the flop. So I figured I was dealing with naked aces and/or flush draws.

Turn puts a non-flushy 9 out there, adding some straight possibilities to the river, but I wasn't very worried about that. I'd already decided no one had improved, the flush draw still bothered me, and let's get the drawing idiots gone now.

HA ha.

River pairs the board in Kings, counterfeiting my Aces and Tens, and the naked Ace Jack takes the big pot with a better kicker.

So that's how it's been going.


P.S. While editing this, my turned boat (Eights full of Nines) was just nuked from orbit by someone who flopped (and slow played) Eights full of Queens. The river improved him to Queens full of Eights; the PokerStars server has a twisted sense of humor.

Hi, courteous posts there :-) hold responsible’s exchange for the compelling advice

I signed up for the RSS feed but I guess it is not working?

Don't just buy land. The indian government has so many deals to get land for free. Just think about all the loopholes you can use. Just a thought.

This is the first time I've ever visited your website and I think the information here is simply awesome!

Thanks for taking the top out to write this very nice post.

im subscribing to this rss totally

I truly enjoy keeping up with your posts! It just makes my afternoon.

Thanks for posting this article. I'm decidedly frustrated with struggling to search out pertinent and rational comment on this matter. Everybody now goes to the very far extremes to either drive home their viewpoint that either: everyone else in the planet is wrong, or two that everyone but them does not really understand the situation. Many thanks for your succinct, relevant insight.

Couldn't have said it better. Nice to see someone who knows what they're talking about.

Interesting, I am curious what the statistics are on your first point there...

I was just doing some surfing on my Nokia Phone during my free time at work , and I happened across something I thought was interesting . It linked over to your website so I clicked over. I can't really figure out the relevance between your site and the one I came from, but your site good none the less .
