Still Horseing Around

For Friday`s HORSE I set myself the target of cashing. After my 9th place I considered a cash within my expectations. It didn`t start well, the only pots I won were small or split and I was in terrible shape. I made final table though and through a series of lucky and well timed breaks actually achieved my goal for the day.



Seven card stud was a disaster, finished 13th from a field of 14. Ran my ace flush into a boat. I should have laid it down, I have a great read on this player, just stupidity or pride made me call.

Saturdays HORSE and I get a decent start before finally hitting a few hands in Razz and stud. I scoop a beauty of a hand in 7 stud hi lo, take out two players and set myself for the final table. That arrived soon enough and only three of us had decent stacks. It was largely a matter of steady play trying to wipe out the hangers on. That done we settled down to play for 1st. It wasn`t to be for me. I over extended myself running a bluff in the HE section and finished 2nd. A satisfying result but I`m annoyed not to have won.




The 7 Stud was no more than a 5 seater sng in effect. One poor player, one LAG, one solid, an unknown and me. Unknown player gets wiped out by LAG who proceeds to bleed off his chip advantage. Poor player gets sent to the rail in third. I settle back to wait to trap the LAG but the other player gets him. My opponent has over 4k, I have less than 1k and I`m unable to fight my way back finishing 2nd.
