While I like to get out and about and play in the free tournaments around town sometimes they just boil my blood. Take this hand from last night:
Blinds are $100/$200
Hero is UG with $7,600
Villain 1 is BB with $3,000
Villain 2 is Seat 4 with $5,800
Villain 3 is Seat 6 with $1,800
Hole cards for our hero are Ah Kh
Everyone posts the blinds to the Hero. Hero re-raises to make a call worth $800
Villain 1 Folds.
Villain 2 Calls.
Villain 3 Folds.
Pot: $2,700
The Flop:
Ad, 4h, Kc
Villain 2 Bets $200

Villain 2 Calls.
Villain 3 Folds.
Pot: $ 5,600
The Turn: 9c
Villain 2 Checks.
Hero Raises $3,750
Villain 2 immediately Calls.
Hero shows Ah, Kh
Villain Shows 3c, 10c
The River: 6c
Villain Wins $13,100 with a Flush King High.
Hero Loses with two pair, Aces and Kings.
Personal analysis:
I played my hand almost perfectly. Aggressive, I knew I had the nuts and the best hand walking into things until the River. What can I do better next time? I would say that most likely I would either double bet the pot or move all in after the flop against the same type of player next time. He was under the impression he was getting into it cheap, draws are never cheap. The good players over time will always win against people who like drawing hands
