the Donkey of Poker

Was a big weekend of big games for Sunday.
Carbon Poker $50k and MiniSOP Event #53 were the two big games I had scheduled to take part while mixing in some cash table, Black Jack and Roulette… the adventures of a donkey and a dream continues.

I blogged the $77 Carbon Cash Table which was played after playing some $25 Black Jack which wasn’t to nice to me or I just got to greedy. I should set a limit of how high I should leave after being up but who likes to leave on a wining streak. That is difficult thing to adjust to but should actually be part of your cash table strategy too.

Sunday was the Carbon $50k which was annoying to begin with as the other players at the table can see that I had gained my entry to a $109 buyin tournament with a ticket. I could also see another player had used points and one more won a seat. Giving away info on players before the game has even started doesn’t seem right to me.

Card Dead was the name of this game which didn’t help me as I had the two aggressive players to my right stealing every 3rd pot. Then on top of that when ever I put in a raise it was stolen, possibly cause they see I didn’t buy in and I would be as my normal tight game is, see that as I didn’t have funds to rebuy. I had the funds but seemed pointless at break. Still to me it was a $50,000 freeroll just wish I could have got cards worth playing.

Entered the $2,500 Freeroll Feeder satellite which was kinda funny. I always get a little laugh at people who call me a donkey at the poker table. It is not like I don’t hide it. So I get my ticket with relative ease and will be playing that on Tuesday.

FullTilt Event #53 Stud Hi/Lo was a little mixed blessing. I didn’t make the money, came close and probably would have if not for the perfect 7th Street card my opponent got in a $21k pot that made him a straight and a better low to scoop. 196th of 1089

It all wasn’t bad, I did preform the biggest bluff in a Limit Stud game. Now I will have to admit bluffing in a 4 way pot is not the wisest of poker moves, but it does take a bit of image and table respect to pull it off. I did not really have any in this hand as it was very early in the tournament but none the less It Worked.
