I hear you

Okay guys,

I hear you. I talked to more than one of you and cede that I definitely misplayed the previous hand. To finish up the hand of the day from the previous post:

I raised to 40,000 (bad I know).
Initial Raiser goes in for 63,000.
Reraiser calls all in.

I call.

Hands:

Me: AK0
Second place Guy: 99
Short Stack Guy: AKo

I think the move in by the 99 is a play that trumps my in the worst play department. He pushed knowing we both were coming and we had Reraised and REreraised his open bet. I think that play was moronic. Of course he flops a set and moves into the chip lead with 145,000. I go down to last in chips with 17,000. I get back to where when it is heads up against Mr. 99, we are tied. He played well heads up and takes it down. But I think the play on the 99 was bad. My play was definitely bad, but his was worse looking back at it.

Last night:

I cannot believe two things with this hand. 1. Why he open limped and then called preflop with his hand and 2. why he thought that his hand was good on the flop. I conceed that I most likely go bust with his hand if I get to the flop, but I do not get to see that flop. And he check called all in very fast like he had a monster. I just don't get it sometimes, but then again, I am dumbfounded more and more with each session on line. Until next time,

Good Luck and See You at the Felt......................
