Vegas & The Aftermath - Diary

[tikay]

My Big, raised to 300 UTG and I plan to fold my J-9-5-4 ss until I see that everyone had called, so I gotta call now.

Flop 7-8-10, which is reasonable.

I check, UTG makes it 1,200, rest all fold, I make it 3,000 and he quickly folds.

That showed 'em, statement made, don't mess with the old boy.

[tikay]

I might not be the oldest player at the table.

[Karabiner]

It sounds to me as though you probably only have one third of the high(pot/no low obv) currently and are deffo getting freerolledx2 as your JT 2-pair is garbage and you don't even have back-door clubs.

I'm in the trivial fold camp and whatever you have invested in the pot is history - it's painful but you sometimes have to abandon your children.

Call

[tikay]

Ha, that old boy just took the pants down of the table hotshot and busted him, 60,000 pot.

Hotshot had complete air, Old Fella had idiot straight and called down all the way.

Incred.

[MANTIS01]

Glad to hear you can see the cards reasonably well mate

[tikay]

Vietnamese kid two to my right was being a perfect pain, raising every hand and making life awkward from that seat.

He went busto, so life just got much easier, or so I thought.

He re-enters and draws exactly the same seat.

I'm not mad keen on spending all day being run over by him, but will be patient for a bit longer.

[tikay]

Most of them, yes.

[tikay]

And it's kicked off.

There's a raise to 1,000 (200-400), a 3 bet to 3,000, and two callers.....

We have......

 

POT.

Two callers, ffs.

Flop J-8-8 rainbow.

I'm first to act and move all in.

After an eternity of tanking, dwelling, furrowed brows, re-checking their hands, they eventually all fold.

I see beast-mode has been deployed early-doors which should result in considerable arsehole-rippage.

[Pompeynick]

Re the cash hand,

I am probably sigh folding. yes at the moment you have the nuts, having the " nit " player check raising has me a little worried.
The other player then potting it just increases my furrowed brow.
Having no spades leaves me very vulnerable and even if I hit a ten or Jack I might well be behind to pocket Queens getting a bigger house.
I am no cash player, and I really have no idea on odds, so I would take my profit and return to base.

Unbelievably, one of the 2 lads in the hand now claims he had the 8.

He seems a believable sort, but I don't believe him.

To his credit, he doesn't know you're a rampant maniac.

Yet.

Ha, that old boy just took the pants down of the table hotshot and ripped him a new arsehole, 60,000 pot.

Hotshot had complete air, Old Fella had idiot straight and called down all the way.

FYP.

5 limpers at 200-400 to my button and I make it 2,000 with K-K-J-J, no suits.

UTG, a miserable crusty old sort, now check raises me to 7,000.

If he does not have the aces I'll eat my hat.

This is playing lightning fast, so I decide to make the flat call and see if we can hit a nice flop.

9-10-2, with 2 hearts.

This gives me a bit more equity, and it's very close I think, (8 outs twice?) but I eventually check fold.

Am not totally convinced it was a good fold, but pretty sure he had the Aces. If he had hearts it was a good fold.
