Hold & Fold

My nightly tourney for the last couple of days has been the Pokerstars $3+R $25k gtd, on Wednesday night I played quite well and whilst round at J's place managed to finish 54th/3277 for $67.68 The bust came from running QQ into AK, the best thing about that was knowing before I went allin that I was running QQ into AK. Yep, for the first time in far too long the TV was off, I was thinking about every hand not just those I was playing and I had some successful reads which were a big factor in going close to a real score. If that hand holds then who knows.

Last night I played it again and this time I went busto about 3 hours in when I couldn't fold AA. I'm slightly annoyed at this hand, I think I should be able to find a fold. Although I the time I put him on KQ I realised afterward that most of players in this game are not going to reraise KQ on that flop, they would call because they aren't sure if they're trapping or behind and are really hoping to improve to a str8. There would still be enough play in my stack to fold here and move on I think. At least I followed the read, even if I was wrong and overplayed them ! Tonight I'm going to play it again and do better.
