Another successful home game went down last night, a hardore of four of us played a winner takes-all nailbiter. KingTubby brought his ‘A’ game, got the chip lead and then harangued us to keep putting up the blinds on time! Pokerhontasz played tighter than Phil Hellmuth in an airlock and TheConge refined his overbetting strategy to a deadly effective small–ball game. KingTubby was unlucky to go out first, limp calling my shove with 99 and losing when I spiked an Ace holding A10o. Pokerhontasz blinded down quickly to go out in 3rd and I took the money in about 3 hands of heads up thanks to a spiked 7 on the river having shoved over with K7s vs TheConge’s pre flop raise holding A8o.
It is great to regularly spend some quality time with my fellow poker geeks although in the words of Paul Newman in The Colour Of Money I had “A little too much booze” and I was “A little too cocky.” In many respects this blog post is an open apology to TheConge for needling him all night but I was probably out of order with the rest of the table at some point too, so I am sorry everyone.
At one point I shoved over a cbet from TheConge on a low connecting flop holding two whiffed overcards. As he faced a tough decision for his stack I was unable to remain quiet and barracked him for a failed ‘steal’ attempt. He probably realised I had nothing but did not want to risk a suck out when he could preserve chips for less volatile battles. I was also out of order when I told TheConge how he should have played the final hand of the night after I had just sucked out to victory after getting it in bad. Sorry dude.
Every donk revealed
oh, and where is the narrative when I slow played you with ace flush on the flop, eh? Too early to win anything significant, but I took you for four 80 point calls, beeeatch.
