the tortoise and the hare - pt 1

welcome back, gentle reader.

( this post is a follow on from psalm 137 - pt1 )

and how did i get myself into such a bad position ? it goes something like
this ......

sitting with t1342 and got involved in this RAZZ hand.

i raise the bring-in to t40 and he re-raises to t80 and i call. i bet on
4th he calls. he bets on 5th and 6th and i flat call and the i check on 7th
and he checks behind ......

*** SHOW DOWN ***
ResdentEvil: shows [7d 3s 2d 4c Td Jh 3h] (Lo: T,7,4,3,2)
alicalif: shows [6h Ad 5s 8s 7c 7s 6c] (Lo: 8,7,6,5,A)
alicalif collected 648 from pot

drops me to t1054.

slowly dribble away chips to t876 and ...

i find TKo in the hijack ...
i flat call the bb of 100, the sb calls the 50, bb checks.
i bet the flop t100, one caller. bet the turn t200, one caller.
*** RIVER *** [3s 5h 7c 8c] [Tc]
he leads out on the river t200 and i raise'n'pray t400 ... he folds.

gets me back to t1576

... slowly blinded down to t1126 ... time to hit the self destruct ...

*** RIVER *** [4s 5s Td 9h] [Jd]
XXXUSCXXX: shows [8d As 3c Qs] (HI: a straight, Eight to Queen)
ResdentEvil: mucked [9s 8c 6s Ad]

drops me to t526

and between ante's & bring-ins i was blinded down to t211 when that hand
happened.

and then it got interesting ........
