Yes I encountered plenty of donkeys last night. A ton of them. Where do I begin? First tourney - Head Hunter tourney on William Hill. I dont play a hand for 20 mins. Then I get JJ in late position. Mid position raises 3x bb, one caller. I go all in for about 12bb. Original raiser folds, caller calls. He flips over....wait for it.....K3s. Flop brings a K and I am done. Well played donkey.
At the same time as the head hunter tourney, I went in a double shoot out sat for the Sunday Warm Up on Stars. $11 entry with 3 entries. I win my first table and then with 7 left and me in 4th place, I get AKs. UTG I raise, BB thinks and thinks. He pushes all in. I have him covered by a little. What did he have...wait for it....A9o. How a player can win his first table, and then put his life on the line with A9o against an UTG raiser I will never know. But the turn is a 9 and I am down to 2 bb. I push with A6s next hand and get called by QQ. Well played donkey.
Tourney number three - UB bounty tourney. I get KK early and get it all in against AQo. I hold to get an early double up. Things look good. A little later I get it in with AQ v AJ. J on river and I am back to where I started. Then with blinds at 50-100 and 2 callers of 100, I push for 1500. Folded around to first limper, he calls for his life with AQ. Flop brings a Q, I am gone. Well played donkey.
Tourney number four - Full Tilt $10 tourney. I get AA and make it 3x BB on the button. BB calls. Flop is A53. I bet 1/2 pot after he checks. He calls. Turn is a J. He checks. I bet pot. He calls. River is a 7. He goes all in which is about 3/4 of the pot. I make a crying call and see 46o. Not a terrible play by him as if he believed I would call if he hit then his implied odds possibly warrant it, but in his shoes, I fold. So no donkey star for him, but a curious look of bewilderment perhaps.
All in all, I was frustrated to lose as I did, because I would have loved for a big cash. And I really would have loved to win a Warm Up seat for $215. I am going to play more tonight as the fiancee is going shopping with friends. So if all goes as planned, gym, then poker.
Heres to hoping.
