Well, the wife was at work and it was my last day in the states, so I decided to check out the NL game that I swore off several months ago and The Derby. I decided to just buy in for a $100 to start with, with 1 more $100 buy-in with me just in case. I planned to play tight aggresive, really just planning on staying even but I wouldn't complain about winning a bit either. When I first sat down, I went about 2 orbits without really playing any hands. I had a couple of ok hands (Q,Js, medium pocket pairs) but I didn't want to play them to raises because I wasn't sure how the table was going to be. I eventually got settled in a saw a few flops. Miss miss miss at first. I had Q,J suited on the small blind and decided I wanted to see a flop. Now before I get into this hand, let me just say when I play this game I intentionally portray myself as a very weak player to get people to bet with me, that will explain my action on this hand. I limp in on the small blind and the big blind raises to $15. I call and the flop comes out J,x,x. I check it, BB bets $30, I have $45 left so I go all in He calls and flips aces. I rebuy for my second $100.
I have 9,10s in late postion and raise to $15. I get 1 caller. Flop comes Q,9,10. He checks to me I bet $25, he calls. Hmmm, interesting. Turn brings another Q, he checks again. Now I smell a trap, so I check back. As soon as I check he goes all in in the dark. The river is a Q. Now I have both full houses. Well, with no check raise on the flop and checking the trun with straight draw and flush draw out there, I can't put him on a Q, so I call. Turns out he flopped a straight and I rivered him. I double up back to even.
Well, in the mean time a new guy sits down and is LITERALLY playing every hand to at least the flop, now matter a $50 raise or a limp. He quickly drops $600 without even getting upset about it. I pick up 10,10 under the gun. I raise to $30, folds around to the new guy. Mind you, for the last hour, if he caught ANY part of the flop, he bet out, even with bottom pair, and would call to the river. So, he calls my bet and the flop comes Q,5,6. He checks to me. OK, he obviously has nothing. I push all in for $180. He IMMEDIATELY calls and flips Q,2!!!! Well, I get no help and I leave broke and tilting. I couldn't believe that play, I sat in awe for about 30 seconds after the hand at the table. OOps, my time is running out, TTYL.
