Had one of my most nerve racking experiences last night playing pot limit. I had bought in for $450. The game just started.
Very first hand, I'm in BB with QQ. 3 callers to me, I make a pot sized preflop raise of $40 - 3 callers. Flop is Jack high. All check to SB who raises to $100, I make my first mistake and only reraise another $100. Other two fold, SB calls. Turn is and Ace. SB puts me all in, I make my second mistake and call. He has the ace - I'm down $450.
I buyin for another $500. Very next hand I'm BB with J9o. 4 callers to me, I check to see the flop of JJ5. I bet the pot, MP player goes over the top and re-pots, others fold I go all in, he calls. He turns over AJ!! My heart almost stopped, I am beside myself - I'm playing for 10 minutes and am going to be out $950!!! Fortunately, I caught a 9 on the river for the win to get me back to even.
Believe it or not the very next hand, third of the game, I'm in SB with JJ. This time I made no mistakes and took down the pot for about a $300 win.
The next hour was alot of folding so my heart and emotions had time to cool off!!! Which I gladly needed!!!!
