PE and Me (Jude)

Ugh, I'm starting to get frustrated with my Razz results. Apparently, I'm Queen of the Bubblicious Finishes in the nightly 5.50 mtt. Tuesday I missed the money by 2 spots, tonight by 4. So sick! Just a smidgen more luck (ok maybe a little better play) and I would be 4/7 ITM in this tornament for February instead of 2/7. Blah...

Poker Enthusiast got moved to my table tonight when there were 7 or 8 other perfectly good tables for him to be moved to. I hate being at the same table with him or Surflexus! This hand proves that we surely don't soft play each other, tho...:/

I groaned when he raised me, as I did not want to play a big pot with him. I thought about reraising here to say, Hold on, PE, don't do it!, instead I did what I do best; called. HeeHaw. Just the 2 of us see 4th.

I thought this A paired him, as I didn't think he would reraise on 3rd without one. So I continued on.

I am double-freakin paired here, but I have come too far to fold now. With his up cards, I know I have the best draw.

JudeSalem wins the pot (3,012) with 8,7,3,2,A
pokerenthusiast stands up

I felt bad about busting him at first, but then I thought, Wait a minute, he was trying to bust me!! LOL So, this hand helped me to waste another hour + in the tournament before going out 16 of 90 with 12 spots paid....o joy. Perhaps if PE had won that hand instead, he may have been able to pull off a nice little cash, unlike myself. :(

I wouldn't feel bad about busting him, Jude. He basically committed Hara Kiri on the river and you were just fortunate enough to benefit from his dimentia in this hand.

Hi,

I just finished a book on Razz poker called "Play Razz Poker to Win." It's on amazon, but if you'd like a free copy please let me know.

Thanks,
Mitchell

That's very generous of you, tho I suppose your offer was meant for Jude. I'm not familiar with your name, where do you usually play?

Doc, I play on Full Tilt..won the $24 buy-in Razz event last night. Where do you play?

TheRazzDoctor said...

Hey congrats Mitchell. I play on Full Tilt (and Pokerstars too) as SGspecial. I used to play the FTP $24 buy-in tournament when time allowed, but I've graduated to the new $75 tournament they run on Tuesday nights. Hope to see you at the tables.
