Had a chance to play with Matt tonight at Stars ...

Rude · Oct 2, 2008

Was playing some of the higher stakes tables tonight, and what do you know ... the resident pro was at the table. Matt. Guy is good, as he won the table 5 minutes after I got knocked out.

But .... I must say, I did hold my own ... and guess who knocked me out ? Yeah thats right Matt. I got shafted on the hand, but like they say gotta be lucky to be good.

Heres the hand .... Same old story for me. LOL!

the guy shoves all in into a pot of 225 ?

i realize you were 3 handed and he had you covered , but wtf ???

When ur 3 handed like that its a mental game...he has them both dbld in the chip count and was probably dominating the table. The BB is out of position and although this once he had a hand for the most part he should be folding to that shove most everytime..Also heads up J7 isnt a big dog to a random hand. That plus Fold Equity plus the fore mentioned table dominace is what probably made this the right play..
Dont feel bad though, your not the 1st guy in this forum he's owned at the tables believe me.........lol

It was obvious what Matt was doing when we got down to 4 players, as he would push alot and guys would fold.

As far as being "owned at the tables" as you mentioned, he doesnt hit that hand above, I like my chances.
