Grrr, short and sweet!! I was doing OK until I ran into Duffer125. I actually missed he was in that hand at the start. In part, another one of those times I was not willing to concede they may have the best hand when I knew from what was on the board I could be beat.
After folding all hands, on hand 7 w/As 10h I managed a win vs 5c 9d and had 1620 chips. Next is hand 8, the Duffer hand.
Hand 8. I have 1620 chips in EP2 w/Qh Jh. Not great cards but I decide to limp after UTG folds to see if anything good might come of them. MP2 & BT call, SB folds, and BB (that was the Duffer that I didn't notice) checks. Flop 5h 8c 5s. BB checks and I decide to bet 75 into the 135 pot .... maybe the rest will fold? MP2 folds, BT & BB call. It suddenly dawns on me Duffer is in on this one. That basically means I need to be a little more careful with what I do as I can generally expect him to have decent cards. Do I listen to what the little bird told me???? Well you know the answer to that. :-)
BB checks again and since I paired my Q I bet 180 into the 360 pot, again hoping folks will just fold. Little did I know what I was up against at this point. BT folds and BB reraises me to 360. Uh Oh. That is Duffer. Hmmm, might he have trip 5's? Is he just check raising me or just trying to get me to fold? I opt to call, but am not feeling very comfortable with things at this point.
River Jd. Rats. Now often I'd be happy to see this card that gives me two pair, but again, trip 5's beats two pair. BB bets 540 into the 1080 pot. That's a pretty decent bet; if he can't beat me leaving him with only 480 chips. I think about it, but in the end decide to call (wishing my two pair to win?). BB shows 5c Qs. Not only trip 5's but a FH!!! I'm down to 615 chips. Obviously I should have folded way back there making the assumption that I'm probably beat and hold onto my chips for a better battle later.
Two hands later I get some good cards to try and come back with: Ad Kd. Hand 10. I'm BB, UTG, HJ, & CO limp, SB folds and I go all-in. UTG folds, HJ goes all-in w/1785 chips and CO folds. HJ shows 10c Qc. I have two overcards. Flop 8s Kc 10h. So far so good. Turn 5c. River 8c. HJ hits a flush and I'm outta there.
