Magical Mystery Poker Tour

Setting up the play

1 min read

So when I left you I had just won 3k on FT. After that I played a beauty on Stars in the midnight $100. The BB next to me was getting really hacked off, because I kept pushing most rounds against him in an un-raised pot, and was winning the not inconsiderable blinds. He was 2nd chip leader, I was leader and it was close to the bubble and he couldn’t call without a great hand. Eventually I get AA in the small blind, and push on him for 50 times the blind - a huge overbet. He snaps and calls with .

Flop: Spade, Spade, Spade… :(

I’d been setting that play up for about an hour, and then it blew up in my face. I would have been monster chip leader instead I was crippled and out next hand with J10.

Footnote - Full Tilt tournament in previous post I in fact came 7th and not 6th so was 1.1k worse off when I came to withdraw :( Spreadsheet duly amended.
