Big Blind Hand Gets Counterfeited

June 14th, 2010 by PokaPaloma

Played No Limit Hold’em tournament in Milford tonight. Couldn’t get anything going and wasn’t getting any cards that would stand up if I bluffed. Basically a waiting game and I lost the wait.

Final Hand
Blinds $600/$1200. I was in the Big Blind. For the last 1/2 hour I had been waiting for a hand to go All In. Now, I’m sitting in the Big Blind, $1200 in the pot with $2300 behind, the short stack at the table – and – I’ve got Jc 3s. Not really the hand I want to go All In with.

Seven handed at the table. Under the Gun plus One (UTG+1) calls $1200. Small Blind calls $1200. I check my option.

Flop:

UTG+1 checks. Small Blind bets $1200. I rasie All In for $2300.
UTG+1 folds. Small Blind calls for another $1100.

Turn:

River:

My two pair (J 3) get counterfeited by the Ks. I have a small glimmer of hope ’cause I’ve got a J – BUT – the Small Blind has Jh 10h. The 10 plays, and I’m out!

I think I’ll go chew on sand.
