Later on Tilt
LEVEL 6
OMg! I just folded my queens when I timed out trying to type a 2.5X BB bet. And why do I insist on simply calling from the blinds with speculative hands. I need to be raising or folding here. I suck at this.
Wow! They just let me steal the blinds twice this round. I called a standard raise that was called by one other player from the button. I am trying to play more hands in position. When the flop is checked around to me, I bet two thirds of the pot. Everybody folds. I am really good at this.
Two hands later, I open for 3xBB and get three bet by the button. I fold because this bet represents 30% of the button’s stack. I can only continue with this hand if I am willing to play for the buttons entire stack. Since I have 9 10 off suit, I fold, intended to find a better spot later. I suck at this.
The better spot comes three hands later. I am able to get heads up with a good player. My bluff was successful because I created a believable story. And the fact they missed on the wet board really help. I am good at this.
We are nearing the end of level 10. Here are my current vital stats: 11K chips; average 9k, 302 players remain; 90 earn some money.
LEVEL 12 150/300/25
I just overplayed the last two hands and my stack has eroded to 4K. I suck at this.
I shove with 10 J suited after a nit opens. The nit calls with AK. I flop a pair and the AK does not improve. I double up and think I am good at this.
I fold the next two hands. The next hand I play is [Ac, 5c] from the big blind. The button opens with a bet of 1,065 (obv. steal), so because I suck at this, I flat call. The flop is [9d, 5d,8s]. Excited to hit bottom pair, I shove my remaining $7K. The button calls with [Qd, 6d]. The turn is [Qs]. The river [Jh].
I am prepared to shove my 282 remaining chips immediately if not sooner, because I am good at this.
I win the next two hands by luck and luck alone because I suck at this.
I finish in 215th place when my third hand is not able to hold up.
The time is 3:42 am. Time for bed.
