TP from TP’s Table Talk posted about a hand we played together in last night’s WPBT HORSE tourney:
Unfortunately, most of my memorable hands were bad beats. The first was with 68/2 in Razz. I bet it the whole way down and was called by fhwrdh who at the end was drawing to a 9. Of course, after adding an A to my hand on 4th street, I managed to pair up with each of the last three cards. Sure, when I paired the 2 on fifth street, I can see a loose call, but when I catch an 8 on 6th, I can’t fathom a call with a made 10 and a draw to a 9. But who am I to criticize, I lost the hand and a few thousand in chips.
TP’s comment system seems to be on the fritz and I couldn’t find an email address to reply directly, so i thought I’d reply here. Hopefully TP will see this…
TP, you have every right to criticize, as I made a terrible play on that hand. My excuses are: 1) I have no idea how to play razz and had been getting killed to that point; 2) that was, by far, the best hand I’d made during the razz levels and I was being stubborn about giving it up.
Sorry about that. I owe you a SoCo in Vegas in June. :)
I can hardly blame you. I can definitely understand how painful it can be to not see cards in a round of razz. I don’t think I played a single hand in the last razz round at the final table. But that one hand where you beat me would have put me in pretty good position, so it was particularly frustrating that not only did my own hand not get there, but that I was called down with substandard holdings.
I will take you up on the SoCo though. :)
Yes, it seems that my comments have been flakey since I upgraded to wordpress 1.5. I had an old comment plugin installed that wasn’t playing nice. Of course, I didn’t discover the problem until yesterday.
