League Shennanigans
The only game I played yesterday was the Poker.com Forum league PLHE 48 seater. I got off to a cracking start then lost a huge chunk of my chips against a player who chased all the way to the river. Blinds were 25/50 and I`d raised to 150 with AKos from early position. I had just one caller. The flop comes A-Q-x rainbow, a decent flop for me but I`m worried that my opponent might have AQ. Nonetheless I fire off a bet for 200 into the 375 pot. It`s flat called and the turn is a blank so I fire another 200 in and agains it`s flat called. The river is a 10 and the possibility my opponent has hit a straight runs through my head but I fire another 200 into the pot. My bet is minimum raised to 400 and I know I`m beaten but I decided to pay just to see what cards my opponent had. They turn over KJ and for once I can`t resist making a comment so I type in "Nice chase". There`s a brief exchange of comments between us but I leave it alone until a couple of hands later.
The action had folded round to me in the SB, I had something like K-4 but decided I could pick up the BB with a raise. I`d met no resistance earlier in the game from the player I was targeting and again she folded showing 8-2. I mucked my cards but commented "I had that beat". Enter my straight chasing opponent who says something along the lines of "Oh I didn`t realise you were psychic, how do you know you`ve won before seeing the flop?".
Well I wasn`t in the mood to take that so I replied "You`re not qualified to comment on my play, just keep chasing your four outers". I get a torrent of abuse back and just reply "Showing your character now eh?" A couple of other players ask for it to be calmed down and that`s it for the rest of the game.
I ended up finishing 5th, solid points for me. The straight chaser went on to win despite doing her best to lose. It was sickening to watch her A-4 beat AK, A-9 beat A-10, A-9 beat AJ and then of course her AK holds up against AQ. I swear I`ve never seen anyone so lucky.
No complaints about my play though. I was solid and aggressive throughout. Took my chances when I needed to and played a couple of hands beautifully.
