Rugrat's Golf Day

Absolutely great night, but a sick one from my own personal poker point of view.

The Main Event
We are down to the last 29 players. The player before me went allin out of the blue and I was on the button with AK. He had enough chips for a standard raise and the more I looked at him the more worried he looked. So I pushed allin over the top.

I was delighted to see KQ and the read was spot on. First card out was an ace and I felt comfortable to take down a very big pot. Didn't like the 3rd card T too much, but then I made the fatal mistake and said to ther dealer "NO JACK". This broke all my rules of recent weeks where I must call for what I want and not wha I don't want. Sure enough the J hit the river and I was on my way.

Next a STT and I found my BB being constantly pounded by Julesky from the button. At last, AA turns up and again he raises. My allin was not enough to deter his 6-7 off and I was on my way again!

Now to the cash table and I found myself playing very tight considering most of us were completely bladdered. I built up a nice little stack then lost the lot in a hand with the only real danger at the table... Mitchhh.

A raise from Mitchhh and I find myself with JJ in a 4 way pot. The flop was AJ6. What a beauty. Mitchhh came out betting so clearly had an ace. I flat called hoping for one of the other fools to push but alas they folded.

Turn card was another beauty making a board of AJ66. Mitchhh came out betting again and I knew now deep down that he had AA. Absolutely no way out of it and all the money was in the middle. The river 5 made no difference and I sadly turned over JJ for the full house. Mitchhh of course turned over AA for the bigger full house. A sick hand that you might see once a month playing hundreds of hours online, but ho hum. Would rather see the money go to Mitchhh than the idiots from Bath!

Onwards and upwards and in desperate need of a confidence boost!
