This week has been a good one for me as a poker player, with live tournaments on both Wednesday, and Saturday proving successful. On Wednesday I feel I was partiularly focused, laying down an (A,K) early on with a flop of (A,J,7) after I was heavily reraised. My opponent had (7,7) in the hole, and it proved a good decision. Overall, I could almost say that I didn’t make any real errors of jugement at all, even though I finished 3rd place.

The final hand was certainly one which will stay with me for some time. With the blinds growing larger and with three players remaining, I found myself in the small blind wih (A,K) of diamonds. I flat called in the hope the big blind would try and take the pot there and then, and he promptly raised it 5,000. I immediately reraised all in for another 35,000 and he called. I had his (Ah,10s) dominated, and left feeling distraught after seeing him hit a flush with four hearts on the board.
This is the nature of poker though, and with a 3rd place that night, and another 3rd place finish tonight too, I can’t be overly displeased. Perhaps I was previously rusty on live tournament play when my results were fairly poor a few weeks ago, but for the moment at least, I feel good about my play. I was in need of the extra points in the league we have running too, and hopefully, the good results will continue on the coming Wednesday.
