Couldn't agree more. Serious money changes the way you play entirely.
My poker name is the Ragin' Cajun......... because I don't take too kindly to being punished on the river.
Played a live game last night, 46 runners at £20 a head. Just 11 of us left. The call is 1000 chips, there is one caller and then 1 raise to 6000 chips before me. I have 16000 chips and call all in with Ace King off suit, the initial 1000 chip caller folds, the guy that raised to 6000 adds the extra 10000 chips. Dealer calls to show cards , he as ace/jack i have ace /king, so i am ahead. Flop comes with 3 low cards so i am still winning, turn card nothing then its all down to the river and guess what? Yep a jack appears.!! So thats it i am out i would have been elevated to about fourth highest chip leader but instead i am going home. Was not too mad because i think i played right. Any one think different? Enjoyed the night but took non of the loot home.
What a pisser, mate!! But then again, that's poker. And that's why I'll never play it with more money than I can afford to lose.
