Your Nemesis

[JT]

My nemesis = Andre J

For the time being any way !!!

Who is my nemesis? Can I say myself? It doesn't really fit into the true definition of "nemesis" but I am my own worst enemy when it comes to poker!

It's all that min-raising that gets you in strife

Probably! Can't change that though, that would be a positive step towards helping my game and I can't have that - i'm my own worst enemy, remember?

my nemesis is the river card....



its my own fault though, i slow play too often when i have a good hand but not the absolute nuts (see my posts on trips losing to river flush, and nut flush losing to FH)

[David]

If you're going to slow play you have to at LEAST have put your opponent on a range of hands.

yeah i have both times, and i was massively in front both times. one time i had him on nothing, and i was right - A high, with 7 of spades that he used to make a flush.

second time, the board was QQ junk junk 10. i hid an ace high flush on the turn, and had him with a Q or maybe pockets. turns out he had 1010, so full house on the river.

just should have bet harder on both occasions and taken a little less money. but i think that they are both pretty bad luck.

My Nemesis after a Bad Beat loss would have to be Pocket A's...
First hand on the table I get delt them and do all in, as most people would do when its all in to call someone else going all in...

I ended up losing to A K when the flop was K K 6...turn and river didnt help anyone including me so i didnt pay attention what cards they were

That's harsh man. I have to admit I did laugh when I heard about it, though. Only cos Brett finally got one up on you.

Nice sig, by the way

I reckon Paul Sparkes would have to be my nemesis - of all players he is the one I recall my hands against the most.

Most two memorable...

First tourney I rocked up to we got to heads up, and I was lucky enough to get the win - and he ended up winning later that night at roulettes (not bad for him - first 2 tournaments played, with a 1st and 2nd).

Then there was the time I had pocket Aces on the first hand, and raised his bet hard before the flop. He called, and the flop came out with a couple of clubs. He bet, I raised hard, he called. Next card, another club. At this stage I knew I was done, especially when he went all in - but with so much in the pot and only 500 left I had to call on the off chance it was a steal. Unfortunately not...

I suppose we've had a few go either way, so maybe not so much a nemesis as an interesting clash of Poker minds...
