This was at my local poker game. we had been playing for like two hours and I had already been sucking out on people. (thats what I do) Then these to hands happen less then five minutes apart.
Im in seventh position I look down and see my favorite hand 3/5 the dirty dirty as we call it. I raise
three times the blind the player to my right re raised, the player on the big blind flat calls then im priced in and i call the flop 10/5/3 big blind checks I raise the player on my right goes all in the blind folds I call . Player on my right flips up AA and the turn and river are blank. All i hear cant believe you are raising with crap (you know the same old story I hear that alot) Thats just the beginning of the story. Two hands later Im in ninth position player on my right is on the button, had like two limper’s in the pot and I look down to see AA I raise the player that I just crushed with the 3/5 (who just bought back in) re raises me everyone folds, then I move all in. He calls and before he flips up his card he says the wrong thing (I think I have you this time) He flips up AA everyone goes split pot. The flop three diamonds I have the Ace of diamonds the turn one more diamonds and its a wrap. The player to my right goes crazy I hate this fing game Im done Im going home it was one of the best bad beats I have put on someone. besides when I had QQ to someones AA and I hit the case Q on the river but thats a different. story
sorry it was the player on my Left gezz whats wrong with me.
I’m at the final table of my local card room where I play 3-4 times a week and I’m feeling pretty good about my chances today. Only 2 more players to go before we’re in the money or 1 player and then the bubble. I’m in the BB and look down to find one of my favorite hands but one that I don’t let myself play very often, 5 3 suited. One of those nicely disguised hands that when they hit can really win a big pot but I’ve disciplined myself to not play it very often for obvious reasons. The blinds are up to $500-1000 and the button has been raising almost every unraised pot to steal the blinds which is what happens this time as he raises to $2000. I look at him and I make an All-Star read, decide he’s stealing and call. Everyone else folds and the flop is 6-4-7 rainbow! I dejectly check and the button declares ALL-IN! To my great joy! I call shoving in my chips and he has me covered as I turn over my straight and groans and turns over his pocket K’s. Wows are coming from other players as they see how I reeled him in, what a great play I made, what a great play I made! Almost nobody noticed as the dealer turned over the 7 on the turn, but everyone noticed when she turned over the other 7 on the RIVER!!
6-4-7-7-7 FULL HOUSE!! Ohhhh! the groan was terrible! What was worse was that it was coming from me!
