Ok, so I have been a TPE member for a little over a week and have been watching vids and listening to pod casts and just had a revelation about a hand in the Borg 15k …

This hand had been bugging me because after the hand I felt REALLY nitty and figured I butchered it, but now I feel like I finally understand how. I’d love some feedback to see if I’m on the right track.

I’d been playing pretty tight through 9 levels, though managed to chip up to about 24k thanks to pocket aces 3 times.

Antes are 100, I think and blinds are 800/1600. I was so stack size unaware at the time, it’s sick.

UTG +1, who has been opening a lot if hands (some pretty questionable ones too) opens to 2500. It folds to me on the button and I look down at AJo. I think “this is my spot to do something” so true to my nitty play, I call.

This was mistake #1. I should have pretty much snap shoved here, right? Ugh, seems SO obvious now. I’m thinking at the time that I was still above 10BB, so no need to gamble. Damn Harrington! Sorry if I made anyone sick here.

On to mistake #2. The small blind, who has only been on our table for 3 obits thinks for a second, then shoves behind. Original raiser snap folds. I tank for a minute or so and fold as well.

I should be shot. Also a snap call, I guess.

The sickest part is the next hand, the shover shoves again and gets called with 78o and goes out. If only I had joined up BEFORE going to AC. I was eliminated a few hands later Live and learn, I suppose. I promise to do better.

Let the abuse begin.
