In Quentin Tarantino fashion, I’ll make the 3 posts in backwards chronological order.

Friday night, I had some time to kill while Jane was with the girls, so I debated the pot limit game at Top Hat versus the 5-10 game at FSC. Had I known John was at the FSC, I would have joined him. I went to the Hat.

Evidently the $1-$2 game has moved up to a $5-$10 game, which is very high stakes for pot limit. Pots were regularly $300, and sometimes up to $800. I bought in for $200. Since I didn’t know the blinds had increased, I really was under-staked for this game. I did well, playing tight and then I flopped a set of kings while holding big slick. Check, I check, guy bets the pot. Pops calls and I do too. I fear that the check raise would give away my strength, and there was no threat of a flush or straight draw out. I wanted to wait until the turn to bet the (bigger) pot. Turn brings a Q, I move all in, and Pops calls with pocket Queens to make a full house. River does nothing for me and I am down to felt.

February has been a difficult month.
