Back to Spread Limit Table

Finally after the weekend is over I am getting back to the game I should have stayed at the last week.  I really put the Bankroll at risk by doing what I did.  Should have stayed away from the $2-$10 and especially the Omaha Game.

 

I called in ahead to Crazy Moose Casino and got my name on the list as I was ready to leave the house and start playing.  When I arrived the game was already going and had started early.  This looked like it could be quite a wait to get into the game.  I sat down in the area outside of the poker room and will wait to see how long this will take.

 

About five minutes into the wait someone got up and I was put into the game.  I put my $100 on the table and within about 15 minutes I was up about $35 and felt like I was at home playing.  It didn't last long when I decided to play a couple of hands that I should not have bet on the river.  I was ahead and then let the river beat me and that took some chips away from me.  Now I start playing tighter to see if I could get back to my starting stack at least. 

 

I did make it back to the $80 level and then started dropping off again until I ran it down to $50.  I decided at that time, since it had been 2 1/2 hours of play, that it was time to leave.  Down $50 is better than $0.  I will live to fight another day.

 

My downfall with this game today is the decisions I made early to go ahead and pay off the player to see the better cards.  I knew it and should have just let the cards go.  

 

One time I was so gun shy of the better cards I had 1010 and the board came Jxx, Turn was J and river was x.  The other person was first to act and bet $15 and I folded.  He turned over 66.  There was a good $50 in the pot that would have been nice to get my hands on.  At that point I was not willing to take the chance I was wrong.  Knowing that you have the better hand or thinking you have the better hand is so different.  My gut was telling me to call but I couldn't pull the trigger.

 

Hopefully the next time I play it will be different.

 

Have a fun day......
