My Hold ‘em game is in and out of focus.

Rose focus (by Jim B L)

Rose in focus, Xavier out of focus

I spoke too soon.  In my last post I talked about having a good start to the week and looking forward to keeping it rolling.  Well I effectively wiped out any gains from Monday and Tuesday last night.  I know I played bad in many spots, but at the same time I had some bad luck.  Twice I had a full house and lost to a bigger full house.  The second one hurt the worst because it left me totally dumbfounded.  I had J-3o in the BB and the SB limped in for another 3 cents, I checked.  The flop came J-3-Q rainbow.  I bet about .15, he calls.  Turn is another Q, I bet about .35, he calls.  The river is another Q (board is J-3-Q-Q-Q) giving me a full house, Queens over Jacks.  I bet about $1 and he shoves all-in.  I didn’t put him on a Q so I called.  He had pocket Aces.  That makes no sense- limping with Aces and then calling all the way only to shove on a river bet.  Sure it worked because with the line he took I didn’t put him on Aces, but I’m still convinced he is an idiot, and I think he knew it too because he promptly left the table.
