Quick Vegas Update 4

By Ed Brayton

Just finished poker session #4 and booked another win, $207. That was after I had lunch with a longtime reader, Richard, which was very cool. Meeting another one this evening and a third on Thursday night. This session of poker was really up and down for me. I got myself into a really bad situation on one hand when I had A 4 of hearts and the flop came with two hearts. Player 1 bets $12, player 2 raises to $50 and I stupidly called the $50.

Player 1 then went all in for another $35, player 2 folded and at that point I was pot committed, having to put in $35 to win almost $200. The flush didn't hit and his top two pair held up. A good example of how making one bad decision can lead to having to make another one. That dropped my buy-in of $300 in half.
