Daytona Beach Kennel Club Sign
Today I played 1/2 no limit in the Daytona Beach Kennel Club Poker Room. Not many interesting hands for the first couple of hours, I fold a few pots and win a nice one with a turned nut flush and another with KK. However, I am in Seat 9 and Seat 1 is playing like a complete donkey. He has doubled up to $200 and is playing every pot. Calling Calling … and hitting! Poor players who get into luckbox mode drive me crazy.
I am down to about $75 from my original $100 buyin, I raise it to $12 pre flop with 77. Mr Luckbox calls me and the board comes AQ8. I get carried away here (a little on tilt against this guy …) and bet $16. He calls, and I decide I can push him off this pot, even if he does have a weak ace. I bet $26 on the turn, and he raises me allin. I call my last $15 in disgust and he shows A7 for top pair with a weak kicker and the win. I leave in a huff…
I definitely made a couple mistakes here, but my play wasn’t completely hopeless. I had a very tight table image. I think I only showed KK and the nut flush. I hadn’t played a hand in quite a while. This should have made my flop and turn bluffs reasonable against observant players who would be concerned about my representing a powerful hand. However, I think this guy was to oblivious to notice, and only plays his cards. He was in love with a pair of Aces, 7 kicker and probably would never lay it down to any bets. These factors should have made me slow down. I also should have slowed down when two overcards to my 77 came on the flop, the A and Q were definitely within his range. A little tilt and too much aggression against a calling station cost me my stack. *Sigh* another lesson learned.
