oh boy oh boy oh boy!
played empire 5-10 and lost with stupidly bad river cards, had three 100 dollar pots in 5 hands all of which i had two pair coming into river and hten opponent hit a high two pair on the river....3 times...people on the table even commented how unlucky i was, so i switched to total poker, and over a couple of days intense playing won 250 on 2-4, then yesterday lost 100 n 2-4 with no cards whatsoever.
then i tried 3-6 and was on the most mental table i have been on all summer. these two turks were raising preflop on anything, calling preflop on anything (i lost QQ to 48 off and another sensible guy on the table lost QQ to 37 off both with the opponent calling 6 preflop).
so now down to 80 from 250 on this mental 3-6 table where i just was getting dealt shocking cards and a couple of bad beats. then i win a 148 dollar pot! (and leave the table for dinner)
i had 10 10
vs two mental turks
ends out being raised to the max preflop
flop 356
turk bets, turk 2 raises, i reraise to get the 4th senible guy out, he folds (with overcards i put him on)
turk 1 raises to 12, call call,
turn 3
im thinking, one has caught his trips
turk 1 bets turk 2 raises, i think sod it, and call, turk 1 calls
river 6
i think, oh no, not again, turk 1 bets, turk 2 raises, i call, turk 1 raises, turk 2 raises, i call, turk 2 calls
showdown,
turk 1, pocket 2s
turk 2, 45 off - pair of 5s and straight draw
me, pocket 10s..thank the lord
on any other table i would of folded, but he it was mental, and i finally had the goods to delivery...but how turk 2 saw the flop is still a mystery with 45 off
