Secrets of the Amateurs

Finally managed to cash in a $50 Rebuy on Stars last night, 7th for $1800 odd. Here's a particularly sick call I made which tells you a lot about what goes on in these tournaments. Bear in mind that the big blind was sitting out :-). My opponent was one of the better players and definitely capable of a steal re-shove so I thought to hell with it, I must be 50% against his range. In fact I was 53% against his actual hand and Stars served up some rare justice on the river as you can see. The guy even said "sick call" in the chat, I took this as a compliment and said "ty :-)". I think it was a compliment. Remember, sick is good. Solid is bad.

As for the title, that's because I was playing by the light of two candles. One of my new energy-saving light bulbs blew the fuse (that's my reward for trying to be green) and so instead of getting a new fuse I went for the balla option of a new fusebox. Installation still pending. Given this rare $50 rebuy cash I was wondering if playing by candlelight was lucky, until I was coolered into 7th place after entering the final second in chips. Ho hum. At least that didn't happen last weekend.
