Ten and Out

I said I was out of practice and last night at the Nuts proved it - my game didn't last long.

By the second blind level my stack was already running dangerously short. I was dealt A-10 in late position. Everyone folded round to me and I made a standard bet. Dealer called and big blind checked, leaving three of us in the pot. Flop was rags and big blind made a small bet which we both called. Turn came down an Ace, big blind bet about half the pot.

With my short stack I wasn't going to call - it was fold or all-in. I put the big blind on either Ace-rags or a total bluff so pushed all in.

Turned out he'd slow played A-K. No help from the river so I was out.

Sigh. Still, at least I have the satisfaction of being able to say I told me so :-)
