Mother Shipton's Diary

Quick update again. Not making much progress. Lots of up and down but mostly ending sessions on top or level. If the bad days are flat and the good ones +ive then it will all work out alright in the end. Only $44 up after 6K hands at 10NL. But it’s a start.

This evening was a 4 hour session battling just to finish $1.50 up – but as I was $15 down after about 30 mins, I’ll take this one as a moral victory. Helped in no small part by the biggest comedy fold I’ve ever seen.

Check this out below. Yes – he folded for a bet of $0.10 on the river, into a pot of $8.80 – after putting $3.70 in already. Seriously – I nearly fell of my chair. I can only assume he meant to go all in on the turn but missed $0.10 on his bet slider. But then to fold!!!!!!!!!!!!! It wasn’t even a mis-click. He actually stopped to think about it!

I mean, you can criticise my play if you want – a bit of a tilty call on the turn, looking for the miracle 2,3,or 7 – but no-one can fold for their last $0.10 on the river here. I’m calling here with an old tissue and Snickers wrapper! He left the table shortly after, suitably LOL – ed to death in the chat box!
