Davai Poker

I’m losing for October

For some reason I can’t get a winning session under my belt for this month. It sucks as I’ve been playing close to my A-game, but I’m really being slaughtered by cold deck situations (nights with 3 set-over-set instances etc, it sucks badly)…

Yesterday I lost a big chunk of my bankroll in a rollercoaster I can only describe as sick…

Flopped quad tens to get rivered by Quad kings (all the money went in on the turn, obv nothing he could do — but still), made a straight flush and LOST against the higher straight flush and flopped a set of sixes only to get beat by a set of aces that decided to smoothcall pre-flop…

BAH

Quad Kings for Phil Ivey

What do you do when you flop quad kings? Well, you try to keep your opponent in the hand and allow him to make the second or third nuts so he will call your big bet on the river…

The commentator of the Aussie Millions doesn’t really understand it I believe (he should go read Sklansky who wrote about this in a couple of his books), but it’s a good check on the flop, and a good just-call on the turn.

Phil Ivey, obviously a poker genius got unlucky that Jerry Fitt knew what he was doing…
