Sorry guys for not posting in a while. I started my new job in early October and have been busy doing that for a while. This job is not easy, they really work me for every cent I am earning. But I am doing okay.
I went to Macau twice during this period and going to share with you my experiences. I have still yet to cash in Macau. Dang. And for some reason I always don't do well in cash games there as well.
Defining hands, hands that played for all my chips in Macau:
1. Check raised gut shot on the flop. Turn hit gut shot, check raised all in, guy tanks and calls. Hits his flush draw on the river, slow rolled me. (HKD 7000 pot)
2. Two different hands, got QQ and KK, first time flop Ace, second time turn Ace. The fish played with his hand face up, surely he has Ace in his hand. (both hands cost me about HKD 5000)
3. J53, two clubs on the flop. Preflop raiser no cbet, I led out almost pot size. A2 no clubs called. Turn 4. All in turn. I had 55 (HKD 18000 pot)
4. BB on tournament, UTG leads out 2x, button 3bets to 8x. I was very sure button had only AK. If he had a big pair he would 3bet like 5-6x only. I look at 88, so juicy pot, if I win the pot I will have a decent stack to go deep. I shoved. Flop Ace.
5. I have TT, lead out, 2 callers. Flop 985 rainbow. BB check raises me. Don't put him on strong hand cause of the texture. Maybe 97, 96 kind of hand. Turn 8. He leads out again. Maybe 86, 87? Call. River big bet on a blank. I called. He had 98. (HKD 10000 pot)
6. AK vs AA, (HKD 10000 pot)
Sick of these beats. This few weeks I keep thinking maybe I am not good enough. I really need to review myself. What am I doing wrong? My luck is really bad I feel, but am I blaming too much on luck? Did I put myself in those situations?
I had a few hands I felt I played really well.
1. Some Japanese guy kept targeting my BB because I was folding so much. I fold because I keep getting really bad cards. 49o, 2Ko, etc. One time it came to me, on the BB, I had J2 off. I flatted his raise. Check raised him with air. He folds.
There are a few others, but it is getting late, and I am getting hungry. Will post more next time.
