This is just a blog to document a hand last night at Star City casino. I spent about an hour moving around, watching my buddies play Blackjack, Omaha etc. Omaha is one weird game. Moving to the hold em tables, I observed and finally chose a 2/5 dollar no limit table. I sat next to a very pretty petite blond lady. With a greeting of hello, good luck and handshakes, my chips were placed on the table, the game continued. The game was going ok for me, I guess. Having noted everyone was playing tight I decided to follow suit. This blog is mainly about the following hand I will describe in great detail from my point of view, including my thoughts etc. If you don't like poker, it will be a long read and you should probably stop now. So the hand is dealt, I'm at the big blind (and the beautiful lady at the small blind). A 6 handed game, 4 players decide to just call before me, for the first time at the table I stupidly looked at my cards before it was my turn. The girl next to me must've picked that up as she decided not to put in the remainder. I had AK off suit. I decided to raise to 15. To my very surprise everybody left in the hand called. I was kinda scared, low pocket pairs, A K, A Q or 2 Aces (even) were very likely, along with marginals like KQ suited. Or good pot odds I guess, now (the pot) being a healthy 65. - The flop comes A, Q, 10, Rainbow board At this point I'm thinking beautiful. Top pair big kicker. AQ or A10 was a hand I was scared of, surely noone would be that loose to call with Q10, KJ ?. So I decide to make a bet that looked kinda random (randomly picking out chips and throwing them into the middle, like a bluff but I knew it was around 20, it was 26). 2 players folded, nice, 1st to act after me and last to act (on the button, I will label him PotB from now as he players a big part here) were the callers. Now the pot was quite a big 120 - ish. Instantly I ruled out 2 pair or 3 card, especially since this board was scary straight territory. I really thought they had the same hand as me, There was nothing else I could really think of. Maybe someone had 2A and was praying for a straight card to not come. Still you never do know. - The turn comes 3 of diamonds, Board is now A, Q, 10, 3 with 2 diamonds A nothing card. Again I bet 35 a very low bet but A Q, A 10, A A was still scaring me a little. PotB calls, the other guy folds. I don't know the hell just happened there, maybe the other guy was going to bluff but decided against it on the turn? PotB must have the same hand I have, AK surely. Nobody would be that loose with 2 diamonds in their hand, SURELY. Pot is now around 180. - The river comes a J of diamonds. Board is now A, Q, 10, 3, J, with 3 diamonds (10, 3, J) I made the nuts. A flush was possible but again surely noone is that crazy. I check, hoping for a bet where I can re raise. PotB bets 100 straight. A massive mount of money and half his chips, essentially pot committing himself. But also a sort of a tell that he may be bluffing. At this point I really don't think he is capable of such a bluff. I just really thought he had my hand. So I re raised him all in, knowing it was 89% going to be split anyway but taking no chances (if he folded he wouldn't see my hand) he looks surprised at me and calls. A smile that looked like "stupid kid I have the nuts and you move me all in with trips". I flip over my AK, PotB flips over a ...... a ....... Get ready for this. A very sick player. He had K4 off suite. He called a re raise pre flop with K4 and stayed all the way with me with nothing but K high until the river for that J. You have to be kidding me. I know it's gambling but this is just crazy. I really felt like having a Phil Hellmuth moment. Really now i sort of understand why he goes nuts sometimes. Any thoughts? Did i play that wrong? Thanks for reading. I got home at 5 in the morning slept for a few hours and is now 11 am, still rather pissed (annoyed and drunk). * Some of the money (bets, pot size etc) are probably wrong. It was for sure a 2/5 dollar table though. | |||||||||||||||
