So I went to Oklahoma to play some live poker (hence the catchy thread title
).
Im not sure Ive ever had a rush of card like this. I played 6 hours which is about 175 hands or so and I hit 5 sets. Alot of these hands are fairly standard and the only one that I need help with is #3.
#1) Im getting NO cards the 1st hour and actually got 82 offsuit 3 hands in a row and Im talking to the guy beside me aabout it. Ive won one pot out of 3 Ive played and I havent raised yet. I have $450. Tight guy raises to $25 and has me well covered. I reraise to $75 with
[As] in the SB. He calls heads up.
Pot $160. Flop
[2c][4s]. I check. He says "you got aces and are trying to trap me?" I shrug my shoulders and he checks behind.
Pot $160 Turn
. I sheepishly check again. He insta bets $100. I think and then CRAI. He calls with KK and then goes on and on about how well I played it.
I said, "Ive folded for an hour did you think I was bluffing?"
#2) Only a couple hands later, UTG limps, I limp
[Kc]. 2 more limpers.
Pot $30. Flop
[4d][3s]. Checked to me and I bet $20. CS does what he does best and calls. Young asain guy raises to $120. UGH. He only has another $120 behind. I hate to lose a big pot with KK after limping, but I really doubt he raises that much with a set on this board. I think he has A8 so I shove all in. I probabl shouldve just called so the CS could do what he does best again. CS folds and Asian guy calls. I ask him if he has 2 pair and he wont answer.
Turn
River
. He mucks his 84 off suit. OK, I got lucky but it serves him right for playing 84 when not even in the blinds. God help these fools when I catch a suckout or 2.
#3) Fish limps in EP. I raise to $25 with
[4c]. Solid (but not tricky or anything) guy on button calls as does the BB and the limper.
Pot $100ish. Flop
[6c][4s]. BB checks, fish in EP leads $50. I think and call. Button calls also.
Pot $250. Turn
. EP checks.....whats my play here? They both have $400ish and I cover.
#4) Same fish from hand #3 raises $20. I call with
[5s]. The BB calls.
Pot $60. Flop
[4s][5d]. They both check to me. I check behind. The fish who raised preflop has the most blatant tell Ive ever seen. When he sees a flop he likes or the turn hits him or whatever, his jaw starts pulsating. Hes got a fat face so the pulsating is very pronounced. When he saw the flop, there was no pulsing.
Pot $60. Turn
. BB checks, fish bets $30. I raise to $90. BB folds and fish calls.
Pot $250. River
. No pulsation and he checks. I say "I check also because Im an idiot". I dont know what i was thinking but I had a bad feeling he called the turn raise with a draw ( a 6). Stupid stupid stupid. He had JJ. He wouldve called a river bet.
#5) Couple limpers and I have
[Tc] in the BB.
Pot $25. Flop
[Qh][Js]. I lead $20. 2 guys call including this same fish.
Pot $85. Turn
. I bet $100. 1 guy calls and fish folds.
Pot $285. River
. The guy has $175 left and I push. Even an idiot like me will bet the river with the nuts
. He calls with KT.
#6) I limp
[7d] after a limper. LP raises $15 and there are 2 callers including me.
Pot $50. Flop
[7c][5d]. I lead $30. Preflop raiser calls as does another guy.
Pot $140. Turn
. I lead $100. Preflop raiser calls. The other guy is in seat 2 and shows the dealer his cards and folds. Preflop raiser is in seat 10 and has almost the exact angle at the 2 seats cards that the dealer does. I come unglued. The dealer says she only saw one card. I ask seat 10 if he saw the cards and he says No and I think I believe him. Im still pissed. The dealer says she saw one card and it was a Jack.
Pot $340. River
. Villain has $410 left. I say "I think Im gonna have to go all in". Villain thinks for a long time and calls with
[Kc]. Sometimes I actually play good
#7) I call a $35 raise with
[4h]. 4 to the flop.
Pot $140. Flop
[Td][4c]. The 2 guys between me and the raiser are HUGE CSs. I lead $50. Everyone folds. UGH.
#8) I hit another set and win money
#9) I hit another set and pound someone......rinse and repeat
