I decided to try out the $50 tables on Party Poker last night, Monday night. I did not do very well. Ended up down $64, which isn't too bad for 3 tabling $50 buyins. I should have been only down $34, I lost $30 on a rather retarded hand.
I was dealt KcQc mid position. I raised to $2, the normal raise. I get three callers. Flop is Tc 3c 6d. I check. Guy bets the pot, other guy calls (he is all in with the call). For some reason I decide now would be a good time to push all in, the other guy that made the initial bet only had like $20 left. I figure one of my overs is live plus the flush draw. Well, turns out they both had sets, and
my club never came. I should have folded to the bets. Stupid me.
Obviously they had me beat, a pot bet, an all in. I might have been drawing to a dead flush. Oh well. I did not really think about what I was doing. It was one of those instinct things. I need to have more control when I play online. In live poker I would not have even contemplated calling.
That's the thing. It seems like I make more wrong decisions when playing online, compared to live. Maybe it's just because I see like 10 times as many hands online than I do live, which is why I think that way. Anyway, to make a long story short, I was upset with my play last night, so I decided tonight would be much better.
Turns out it was. I played 3 $50 buyins and profitted $214. I love poker nights like these. Hooray.
