Its a little dangerous but with that nice set flop you gotta try and extract chips.

The hand with CC.. Well CC is the BIGGEST donkey I have ever played with and thats all you can say. You done good girl.

Haha...thx, that makes me feel better that I folded, even though I took some flack for doing so.

The hand I was talking about that you bet pretty big preflop was this one:

PokerStars Game #6960527282: Tournament #35226046, $20+$2 Hold'em No Limit -
Level I (10/20) - 2006/11/09 - 21:37:06 (ET)
Table '35226046 4' 9-max Seat #8 is the button
Seat 1: bayne_s (1535 in chips)
Seat 2: wwonka (1755 in chips)
Seat 3: Katitude (1450 in chips)
Seat 4: slb159 (1616 in chips)
Seat 7: love_elf (1374 in chips)
Seat 8: Drizztdj (1270 in chips)

*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot 50 | Rake 0
Seat 1: bayne_s (small blind) folded before Flop
Seat 2: wwonka (big blind) folded before Flop
Seat 3: Katitude folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 4: slb159 folded before Flop (didn't bet)
Seat 7: love_elf collected (50)
Seat 8: Drizztdj (button) folded before Flop (didn't bet)

So when I said something about "over-betting", just meant that it was a fairly large bet preflop at the time. Sometimes it's a good idea to keep your pf bets the same as you'll telegraph that you have a monster by betting too big and thereforfe, not get paid off.

Thx again for posting that hand.

Best of luck.

CC = Donkey.
got it. I'll store that one in the memory banks.

slb - you are right. I need to get my betting down. I tend to overbet with a good hand, and underbet with a weak one.

I'll work on that. Thanks for the feedback boys!!

smokkee said...

ya i keep telling elf her betting is whack. she'll figure it out and bust both you fools.

CC said...

CC=Donkey, got it.

I had some chippies at the time, so I think you played the hand very well. I would have done the exact same thing that you did had I been in your situation.

Hope you can make it this week as well.
