Famous Last Words 16 – Yellow polka dots

This was a classic Limit Hold’em JJ vs. AK. I slowplayed and managed to squeeze out an extra bet on the River, when Big Slick failed to materialize into a hand, which I guess is what pissed him so dearly off. After welcoming him to the game, he promptly left. It happens a lot, so [...]

Sick table

Heads up against a guy who turned out to be a calling station and very aggressive on the button, calling my river bets with A high several times. Unfortunately, he was right a few times…I failed to adjust to his play and the table full of dead money, so out I went after about 20 [...]

ElkY on how not to become a great poker player

At some point I played for 24 hours a day for a whole week, with short 15-minute naps every four hours. Of course that wasn’t great for my game and I played very bad as a result. By the end of the week I was playing so [expletive] bad, so I decided to get some [...]
