Overvalued Hand...Again
Once again last night I overvalued my hand while playing in a Texas Hold'em Tournament at the local bar. I have a friend that plays almost everyday for money in places like Treasure Island Casino and he is considered an expert by many people. He told me once while I was playing with him that I "overvalue my hands" and I think I realized last night what he meant. I was dealt Ace King suited in clubs and I had excellent position so I bet the color chip that was worth the most (it was my first time at that bar and I wasn't sure the chip color denomination). Every one else folded but one player on my left called. The flop came with two clubs so I when all in. He called me. I missed my club on the turn and river and hurt my chip stack so much that I was out the next hand. He won with a pair of sixes! I guess it's better to play safe in these tournaments because someone always seems to call with junk anyway.
