When I feel like I'm playing well and on a card rush, I like to push my limits a little and use more of my poker bankroll to play a couple of hours at tables higher than what I normally play. This is a case where my bankroll suffered because of it. When I was living in Houston, I was playing poker to pay bills and living expenses, trying to move out of Houston. Later, Doyle Brunson told me if I ever wanted to be a successful poker player, I should keep a poker bankroll that I never touch... no matter how hard life gets, never touch it. This is a case where I'm glad I wasn't depending on this money for bills. The player I was up against is Johannes Strassmann whom I didn't know anything about at the time of this hand. I do now. You can check him out at here He is also a member of Team PokerStars Pro found here. Not a REAL heavy hitter, but he obviously can hang with the big boys. Watch this video of our hand together and see if it doesn't make you cringe. I had to change the location, game ID number, took out other players' names, etc. to stay away from copywrite infringment. Please comment on the way both of us handled this hand.
