This was the last hand I played in last nights live Celeb Pocker event, and involved being dealt (Q,J) in the small blind. The player to my right had mentioned two hands previously, folding (A,6) preflop, and he limped in from the button.

The flop came down (A,5,9) and it was checked to the button player. He led out with a raise of 1,600 and I decided to come over the top for another 4,500 all in bet. The fact that he had mentioned folding a mid to low Ace two hands previously swayed my decision, as did the fact that he was last to act after the pocker action had been checked on the flop.

I felt he was folding mid to low Aces preflop and would have raised wih a strong Ace. So of course I didn’t feel he was as strong as an Ace, and he sat thinking for a long time before another player urged him to make a decision. Calling time on the player was perhaps fatal for me, as usually, I find that the longer a player thinks, the more likely they are to fold.

As soon as the online pocker player said to hurry up and decide either way though, my opponent sighed and threw the chips in saying he felt he was probably behind. He showed (A,4) for top pair which meant he had made a call which was slightly out of character preflop, and on the flop too actually. That said, I still have to take resposibility for making a dangerous play and coming off worse. This serves as another reminder that I need to adapt my play at my local live event and tighten up my play.
