I might be wrong

Is the title of Radiohead’s song on #140 of my top 200 best songs of all time list. But I was certainly not wrong when playing some poker online this week. I’ll show you some remarkable hands from cashgames as well as tournaments again and then the next 50 songs on the list.

The first hand was played in a multi-table tournament, the one with 180 players and a $4,40 buy-in which run all day on Pokerstars. I showed my opponent why minraising with Aces is seldomly a good plan:

To minraise is this players’ first mistake but he makes a second one postflop. He commits his complete stack with only one pair on a board that isn’t dry at all against a hand which only had to call a minraise. I say thank you very much. The next hand, played in a micro stakes cash game, is a hand which I just played good by myself:

A standard play by me with a raise in late position holding an Ace. The button calls but then I make an important play which makes me some more chips. I check my Ace so my opponent won’t believe that I’m holding toppair and he will commit more chips than he’d normally have done. It works out perfectly: he pays a good price thinking his King is good.

In the list of best songs of all time there are new songs from Songs:Ohia (Captain Badass), George Harrison (Apple Scruffs) and Tindersticks (Rented Rooms), three artists we’ll see again among the top ranked songs. This second part of the list is topped by Schism from Tool, which has another song in the top ten. See you next time for more poker and music!
