UBOC Main Event

I was trying a new thing yesterday called running good. It was a nice change of pace. Mostly it's been a pretty ugly month so far.

But if there was a time to start running good, the UBOC Main Event was as good a time as any. Just as it was starting to get interesting, top 20 chip stack with 75 left, it all came apart in four hands.

First, a three bet fold:

Meh. I'd three bet some, but hadn't been that active, this seemed like a good spot. After the shove, way behind any decent range, don't see how I can call unless I just think it's a play. Which it may have been I suppose. Whatever.

Very next hand, flip time:

Since Chicagocards FT'd both this and the FT Sunday Brawl, I'd say he was running good that day.

Very next hand again, easy shove:

Brain had been playing pretty aggressively, I don't see how this isn't a shove really. Ran into a big one instead. What can you do.

Back to work tonight.
