Hi Guys,
Very good night and met some good people.
Have to say a great set up.
people who own and run it are a couple in their 50's who run the place on a non profit basis. (no rake taken whatso ever). They have a 4 bedroomed house and basically have turned the whole house into a card room. I think their are 8 tables throughout the house, aswell as a bar and fruit machines. Really nice place, and even nicer couple that run it.
Friday nights they mainly play 1/2 pot limit holdem with probably 2 full tables going on. I cashed in 200 and sat down. Very friendly bunch and as already discussed all americans. Sat out a few hands and then called a raise in the bb with
.
Flop comes down
rag. I make a small bet, he bets the pot and puts himself all in . I call for another 20£. So its probably a near 70/80£. He turns over
rag. No pair and no rag. Dont need to hit a flush or even the straight as a pair would win it. I hit a pair on the tun and a flush for good measure on the river.
Next hand I raise from the button with an ace. 1 Caller. Small bet from me after a ace high flop. He calls. I make 2 pair on the river. Small bet once again which he calls. I river another ace for a full house. I make a 3/4 the pot raise but he folds.
So now up £100 and only been their 15 mins. Well chuffed.
Straightaway I am dealt
and end up calling a all in after the flop. Not a hard call as I flopped a flush, and he simply had top pair with no heart.
Wow this is easy. Then lose my first big pot.
I am dealt
on the button and pet the pot. Their had already been a straddle so the pot was nice enough to take down their and then. Flat call from the bb which was expected really, he liked ace rag and kj etc but I was a little weary as he had a bigger stack than me and was the only one who could do me damage
Flop came 8 high so checked. He bet half the pot and i bet the pot.I think there was roughly 60£ in the middle(not exactly sure.)he then reraises the pot again.
Oh dear - i very nearly went striaght over the top - but stopped my self. Their was no flush although their was a gutshot out their. No way he makes this play with a gutshot. Ace 8 wouldnt have surprised me, but then again he is either very brave or very stupid to make this play. I can only put him on a set - only hand i can think off.
Flat called the raise, small continuation bet after the flop, and then a big reraise. smells like a big trips. I so wanted to call but thought I was beat. I showed my 10 10 face up.
He turns over
. well played mate- i never put him on that. I saved a wedge of money and was told what a good lay down it was - but in fairness I knew I was beat so wasnt that hard to do.
Cash game slowly ended and we played a few stt's. Great fun and a thoroughlyy nice place to visit,
Finished the night roughly £60 up which isnt huge but it will do me to be honest - i lost a few quid on stt's so would have been better profit if i had stayed on cash (i hoped).
Great place, and even nicer people!!!
