Poker Nuts

Wednesday, November 02, 2005

I was playing SNG on Poker Stars when I ran into JJ in BB. I raised 3x pot and 2 UNG and SB called. Flop came Jx2. I bet pot with my set and UNG called with SB folding. Turn came x. UNG checked and I bet pot again. UNG raised all in and I had him covered. UNG had 22 for a set. My set was bigger so I felt good with only 1 out to beat me. The river card was a 2. He hit quads and small stacked I was out quick.

I thought well I'll play another SNG game. I was doing pretty good about double chips up 2nd from lead. I was dealt JJ. I thought not again. Oh yes. I was not going to take any chances this time so I made a 10x BB bet. I get a caller 1 UNG and every body else folds. Flop comes QJ7. Flopped another set. So I push and UNG calls. Turn is a 7. I have full house so I push again and put him all in. That left me with about 150 chips so basically I'm all in also. UNG turns over cards and he has QQ. I am beat again unless a miracle J shows up on river. The river brought another Q so I get beat again with JJ against quads. It was not going to be my night so I turned off the computer after that game.
