7 players I'm on the button early on and most still have around starting stack of 3000.
blinds 50/100 1 limper
I have A,10 and make it 300.
blinds pass, limper calls.
flop ,Ac,3d
limper checks I bet 500 into 750 pot limper calls
turn
limper checks
i put in another 500 into 1750 (fatal)
limper calls.
river
limper FAST ALL IN
now I know the limper has a history of doing this with no hand and busted draws but I didn't see the draws. I hate A10 but given that I was dead sure limper had no A I liked the board which reads
,Ac,4d,3h,8h. I called and found the limper had ,6h.
limp / called pre flop raise
check called gutshot (my stupid small bet)
check called made straight
all in on flush (which they confessed they hadn't seen)
so I'm down to 75 chips and you wanna know the worst of it?
IT WAS MY MOTHER. wish I'd never taught her the damn game. she watches poker everyday on the TV and played 5,6 suited because she'd seen Negraneu do it.
KK in next hand and got seen off by Q,6 in the blinds.
Brutal game

Don't argue Adam. Mum knows best. Go to bed. Now, do you hear me?

Reminds me of when I came home after 6 months away, carrying a Backgammon board under my arm as I had spent a lot of my time playing high stakes Backgammon. Well, not a single soul in my house knew how to play Backgammon, so i had to teach it to my mother in order to play.

Guess what - she wiped me clean with 7 wins in a row.

This following occured last Friday in our Home Poker Game.

Down to Heads up.

SB: Calls pre-flop. No raise by BB

Flop .

Small bet by BB which is called.

Turn .

Both check.

River .

Medium bet by BB which the SB then decides to go ALL IN.  BB immediately calls.

SB shown for a straight flush...... BB shows 10 hearts for a better Straight Flush which brought the house down!!

Anyone seen anything similar?

I saw something similar to that on the telly, not sure if was wsop or wpt but it was american.
Heads up one fella had the top end of the str8 flush and the other had the bottom, top end is allin on the river and bottom end is covered but *knows* something don't smell right, he thinks and thinks and thinks eventually saying "i can't pass this hand, good luck if you have it".
Superb telly, he had such a strong feeling he was behind but who can pass a str8 flush??

Of course not.
