Another tourney another self taught lesson
-----------------------------------
Well I was playing a freeroll tourney last night.  So I am all excited because I was going to play without grandkids tugging at me or screaming in my ear so I could concentrate lol.

Wouldn't ya know it the first table I was placed at I had some idiot that was CONSTANTLY going all in.  I was folding GREAT hands over and over and over till my money was down to $750 when someone finally took them out.  I refused to go all in on hands that were dealt to me.  Something I might have done before Poker Guru :)  True I could have won many of those hands after seeing the junk in his but can't cry over spilled milk and I forgot each hand after it was played to play the next.

On my left was a very good poker player (the one who eventually took this idiot out) and I had a very hard time recovering but I made it back up to $2400.  I even thanked him for taking the guy out hehehe.


So like I said I worked hard and played smart to bring my bankroll back up and then a fatal hand and most likely fatal because I made the mistake.  I thought I had it made with a pair of Kings  (I had a K and a 5) one King in the turn.    There was a Queen and a pair of 7's and a 10 laying on the table.  I thought ok I have 2 pair and not much else was gonna happen with just the river ahead.  So someone went all in and I did too.  Ya you guessed it.. they were holding pocket Q's and had a full house.  Soooooo I was out.
 I just didn't think of that hand at all for some reason that someone could have a pair of queens in their hand.  Like I said it was my mistake and I got cocky thinking I had the high cards.  Looking back someone could have had 3 7's and still took me out.  I was having a brain fart!  LOL  After all that hard work getting my money built back up and I stupidly threw it away. 

So I will bend over now and let everyone kick my butt.  ROFL
