poker tonight.
Didn't even make the final table. I wasn't getting cards, which wasn't the problem. The problem was getting put out by the worst player at the table on a hand I should have known enough to get away from (maybe). I bet three times the big blind with JQ-suited, leaving me with about six big blinds left and one caller. I was thinking I'd go all in if he didn't bet regarless of whether I hit the flop. Well, a jack comes out and he makes the minimum bet. If he'd bet larger, I'd have thought about that Ace, but I just came out with the all-in raise over his bet. He didn't even think before calling and I knew he had the ace. As bad as he was playing, I should have realized a minimum bet from him could very well mean an ace. I think the best thing might have been to just call that bet, and see what the turn brought. Normally I wouldn't call with just a pair, but it was such a tiny bet compared to the pot. Anyways, maybe it's lack of sleep or something affecting my game.
