Title: Dtd 1/2 weird spot
Post by: StuartHopkin on February 21, 2010, 12:19:59 PM
Vague memories of an interesting spot.

Straddled 1/2 game at Dtd

Guy 'outrageous76' Johnson makes it £8 UTG + 2
Tom 'M'fckin' C does a flat call one to my right.
I make it £12 and it folds to the straddler who also does a flat call.
Guy then makes it £16 and Tom 'M'fckin' C makes it £20

What do I do?

have we looked at our cards yet? if not make it £21, if we have then do a min raise if we've got any green and fold if not

Obv not looked yet, ;)

Need contributions from the other two as I think they both had.

there's an interesting dynamic to be factored in here as at least one of the villains is awestruck and writing stuff on the internet to tell people he's sat with a celeb

Table has also had an interesting mix of intentional and non intentiional slow rolling.

Highlights include Guy being told to stop 'chirping' and me being told to 'it dont matter if i only turn one card over at a time' when a guy slow rolled someone with quads against a straight. His missus collected him shortly after and all of a sudden it made sense.

This hand was a weird spot.

There was lots of meta game. Mr slow roll was in the BB and mr hairy chest man lover had straddled, so obv wanted to convey strength so min raised the straddle UTG.

I was suspicious of tommy smooth so was happy to see hopkin bump it up to test the water with tommy. Slow roll goes away (sigh), but hairy flats.

I decide that hopkin who was deep would prob stack off against me, so I raised again to get it heads up.

Tommy 'tricky mofo' C then does a raise which didn't help my line, action was back on hopkin

I guess best line is to to put ~£35 out there and muck your cards Stu? They wont be able to put you on a range for that! Maybe include a banana dance in there somewhere too.

I would probs throw in a pinky to gague reaction. Then make it clear to all that you had not understood how this could possibly be ruled as a call. Who cares if its one chip, its pink, that should be a raise.

If after all the commotion, any players dont insta muck thinking you have made it £100 more to play, expose both cards and play flop by 'reads only'.

You should be able to tell by blue chip usage if they have it or not on the flop.

If you lose all your monies, call the floor and rant about a marked card and recieve compensation from the club.

Hope this clears a few things up for you Stu.

Ha ha I forgot about hairy chest bloke telling Tommy C that if he had a hairy chest he would get more women and Tommy C asking why the guy liked women with hairy chests!!!!!!!!!!

The guy was greek and proud and hairy and proud so we called him Cos for the next half an hour.

Right.

I make it £24 on top and the dealer goes nuts and everyone agrees that I cant do this. By know im crying with laughter because i know im right so after some arguing and threatening to call the floor over a min raise he counts backwards through the raises and realises im right.

Guy makes it £28
Tommy makes it £32
I do a flat call
Guy makes it £36

This is where things get fruity. Im pretty sure I was the only one who hadnt looked at my cards.

Tommy C shoves for £95ish or something? Wtf?!

I decide to have a look and find a pretty little King and ugly disgraceful 5 but they are both blue.

Whats my best line here?

Spite call and tell Tommy to gtfo and go home after taking all his monies for spoiling the fun min raise game whilst doing a TommyC and saying 'but what could he have'!

We shoulda considered putting a pudding into the middle and seeing if floor will rule that as a cawl! rotflmfao

get a ruling imo - the first person to have broken the minraise pattern needs to leave his monies in the pot and muck his hand.

Also, hopefully Simon Trumpet would rule that only Cos#2 can win pots.

Post by: TommymfC on February 21, 2010, 10:05:55 PM
pretty scummy move on my part to shove but then again I knew none of us were folding and someone fucked up the pattern by doing a flat call when a raise was due ....

ten bet fold?

hopkin owned me so hard in this hand ...
