hand question

[tikay]

The Vic hand.

Vicky probably had some sort of A. Up to you to decide if you have the odds to call.

Camel would pass if you called OR re-raised. He only limped in the first place to take you off your hand after the flop. But once Vicky went all-in, his cunning plan was dead in the water. Sneaky player, that Camel, you know......

And in case you think I am being disrespectful to The Camel, I am not. I don't think I have ever seen a guy who can accumulate so many chips so often, he ALWAYS has a stack early, though his style means he can blow them away too. Apparently he gets AA & KK quite a lot - at least, that's what he tells me.....

your read on the camel seems quite good and exactly what i thought too

[tikay]

Well I learned the hard way Ironside!

Every time I share a table with The Camel, I determine that I will NOT let him get up to his antics, so I take him on. And once I have lost half my stack to him, I revert to Plan B & nut up.......

[Ironside]

first ever trip to the vic camel on my right scotty n on mt left

scotty n couldn't wait to get moved

So what do you do Tikay, check raise or fold?
More importantly what did you do Ironside?

[Ironside]

ok my thinking on the vic hand was that i was in real bad postion to call with the camel behind
a call would cost 50% of my stack

so i was left with reraise or fold

now at best i was hoping vicky had a pp but knew i could be in bad shape v AK or AQ
infact this was very likely as she wouldn't want to play a hand 3 way with a middle pocket pair
and she also knew if i called that the camel would more than likely have too

so this left me the option of fold which i did

cards on back vicky AK camel JJ (i think he is sleeping with all the dealers mind you this one was male)

board came Q high asn i would have won but it would have been very bad play to call or reraise there

keith goes on to make final table and i bust not long after when i take my 66 up against AT

I pass Ian, becauise I am sure Vicky has me beat, & I need to get lucky, & I can't bluff her if she is all-in.

I watched her play a fair bit at The Vic last week, was on her table a good while, as I was in Deauville. She seems to me to have a solid, "straight up & down" game, & when she gets her chips in, she's usually ahead.

I have a problem with all the adolescents who swoon at the very mention of Vicky, you'd think they had never seen a woman before. Having said that, she is a really lovely person, with a terriffic personality, and an incredibly sharp mind. I admire her writing very much, & she is entitled to be respected for that, rather than simply for being a woman.

Camel had a REAL hand? Wow. That's blown my theory out of the water. I suppose he's entitled to have a hand once in ten. Which contuinues to leave me curious, as he raises one hand in 2.......But I guess that's part of his stategy - he gets plenty of action when he DOES have the goods.

[Ironside]

she is a solid player
she made a great laydown of TT when she limped in on button with them (2 EP limper)

flop came 898 she made a pot raise then folded when i check raised her with the 8

cant comment on her personality or looks as she was in seat 10 and i was in 2 and dealer was in way

plus when i am at table i find it hard to keep up with the banter as i cannot get close to the tables due to
be too big for a standard wheelchair and if i took an oversized wheelchair i would have trouble getting about

so i struggle in a stadard chair and the set up of it means i cant get my knees under the table

not longer after i bust camel has built a nice stack

when he tangles with another big stack on the table

the other big stack is trying to bully the camel off a hand with his gutshot straight draw

while the camel is siting pretty with a pp thats hit a set on the turn

with 1 card to come the camel was laughing and doubled up to around 24k while the average was still under 10k

i just dont know where he gets all the hands from but he raises so much he always gets action

[tikay]

You "struggle to get your knees under the table"?

Surely, the DDA would legislate for such an eventuality?

yeah right i have to sit side on to the table when i eat they dont build tables my size

infact depending on my seat in the casino i sometimes get lucky and get seated side
on without taking too much room

problem is i cant see half the players who are on teh table as they are now behind me lol

A intelligent good looking woman who plays poker? What more could an adolescent like me want?

Can she cook too?

swoon. 

[Ironside]

Can she cook too?

thats the most important question that needs answering before you take a woman out,

if i need intellgant conversation there is always the pub,
good looks there is always lap dancers,
poker playing why do you want to take money off the person your dating and if you want to play strip poker aint it better she doesnt know how to play.

the important thing is is she good in the house and can you live off her cooking

i am afraid to say i didnt ask vicky as most ladies slap me when i ask what they are like in the house before i get to know them

[tikay]

Hehe, maybe you have a good point there snoopy!
