Back on the horse
Fifteen minutes at the 25NL PartyPoker tables, and I’m down $23. I’m not sure if the guy who took my cash made a good play, or played a good hand semi-weakly. Well, probably a good play, as he got my money, that’s for sure.
Here’s the hand…
I see Ace Five of hearts in late position, and choose to limp. Not a lot of pre-flop raising at this table, and four of us see the flop.
The flop comes Ace Eight Five with two spades. The first two check to me, and I bet $1 against the $1.90 in the pot. Fold/fold back to the guy on my right who raises to $3.
Now, this is PartyPoker. The raise felt like a test. At that moment, I figured him for an Ace-something, but only top pair, or maybe something like KQ of spades, giving him a draw to the nut flush.
I went over the top pushing all-in. He seemed to think about it (god knows why) before calling…
…with 88.
Damn. I felt like I was in a position where I needed to slam the door shut with the best hand at the time, not push into a better hand with a draw.
Rather than trying to work my way back up, I just logged off. $23 was plenty for me to lose last night, thankyouverymuch…
