Played OK until hand 33 when I underestimated what a Belgium player might have on the flop. I had pocket 9's (9d 9h) in HJ position w/1315 chips, 7 players left. Action folded to me and I bet 2 BB (120), CO folded, BT called and SB & BB folded. Flop 5c Qd Qs. Not really what I like to see with pocket 9's so I limp in with an 80 bet and the button goes all-in w/their last 905 chips. Also not what I wanted to see. I think about it a bit and just a few hands earlier when I bet against him he also went all-in w/905 chips. My mind thinks he might just have overcards, maybe paired the 5. Looking back through all the played hands now, I've never seen any of the cards he's won with, he's made a last bet and any others folded to it, including me. So I really don't have much to go on in deciding what he has. Anyway I decide to call. BAD NEWS. He shows Qc 3h. He hit trip Q's on the flop. The only thing that could save me would be a 9 that would give me a FH and that he not catch a FH as well. Turn 3d. River 4s. I'm down to 250 chips.
Three hands later as BB w/Jh 10s I call a 240 bet from the HJ. Flop 8h 3h 6d. No real help. I check and HJ bets 80 and puts me all-in w/my last 10 chips. He shows Kd 10d. Turn 6c. River 4h. Done and over.
Outside of that one poor call I feel I played OK. I could blame my play on my cold and I'm sure that didn't help, but overall, I just decided, in spite of what the actual cards looked like, to jump into the fire and paid the price. A bit more patience would have done me a lot more good ..... at least I'd be playing with a decent, if not great, number of chips remaining.
