A lot of hands I can usually fold, I've been having a tough time folding. I paid off 3 sets last session and lost 2 buy ins. One was where I bluffed into a set, another where I turned 2 pair, and the third I turned trips.

Even in cash, if you are the small blind and you take your dollar back and put a $25 chip (without announcing raise) it is still considered a call.

...Glad you managed to salvage the trip at the end.<br /><br />Regarding you WSOP experience, I'm not really sure I understand how you could even miss the blind (when you got the penalty). You move to a new table, you put your chips down. If you walk away, they post your blind (and ante) for you and it's dead money in the pot.<br /><br />So are you saying that when you saw you were going Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05767080296489122846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142521684451555818.post-22194591892755565072016-06-18T00:35:37.690-04:002016-06-18T00:35:37.690-04:00Sorry to hear it didn't go better.Sorry to hear it didn't go better.Memphis MOJOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12653631347560307425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9142521684451555818.post-89277212530008856152016-06-17T18:29:11.261-04:002016-06-17T18:29:11.261-04:00Truer words were never spoken than your last state...Truer words were never spoken than your last statement. Folding hand after hand and missing virtually event flop makes for a terrible poker experience.<br /><br />Maybe other people have a different opinion, but the two plays you mentioned seem standard for tournament play.
