Toronto Pimp;406696 wroteSo, hockey was amazing as I mentioned above.....
i know I whine like a bitch when my aces get cracked or when i loose a hand that I am 80% favourite to win, I will try to not do that as much.
we played 1 pretty long poker session. We had a really nice dinner at Michael Mina in the Bellagio and we killed 2 nice bottles of wine during dinner. We get to the poker room around 10pm and they have 2 seats for us in a 10-25 game. We both buy in for 200 big blinds and we are by far the smallest stacks on the table. I was pretty card dead for the first couple hours and topped up another 2500 when my stack got low. Then i finally get a hand 2 red aces in the big blind. There was a raise to 75 or 85 from mid position then the button made it 300. The guy on the button was a very solid player never playing a big pot out of position and really putting pressure on when he had a monster. I re-raised to 1100 which left me with about 4500 behind. Mid position guy folds and the button jams it all in . I call and he has pocket kings.... was kinda funny because he said loud enough for everyone to hear “fuckin lucky tourists”. Board ran out with 2 jacks and some low cards and I get a nice double up.
A few more hours go by and I am sitting on close to 16k. Button guy from other hand is now big blind and I am ug+2, I have 4-6 spades and I raise to 125 guy beside me makes it 350 and gets 2 other callers and the button guy from other hand so there is over 1200 in the pot and I am 225 to call....... I called.
The dream flop comes.... 2s3s5h ...... I tried to look away for a waitress or anything to not stare at the flop. We are 4 handed and I have the joint with a decent redraw to the supreme testicles.
The guy from other hand leads out for 900 I flat call it one guy folds and the last guy makes it 2400 to go. We both call . Turn is the five of spades........... what just happened........ i take of my glasses , wipe my eyes and put the glasses back on.....yup 5 of spades..... holy moly pull the goalie.....
i do the bad acting job and shake my head like I am pissed and check..... other guy bets out 5000 guy from other hand starts talking out loud . He says to me ..”I know you’re folding but I don’t know what that guy has” he thinks for about 5 mins and I call the clock. Well, let’s just say he was not a happy boy. They both had me covered by at least double if not more and this guy was really pissed. Again he says “ you are going to fold why would you call clock on me” he makes the call and now I go into the tank.... after 2 mins he calls clock on me .... I just flat call and tell him that wasn’t enough time for a big decision. The river is the ace of clubs
2s3s5h5sAc.
guy from other hand quickly shoves all in for over 30k . I tank for a bit then go all in for less and the other guy snap calls for more than me.
Guy from other hand hand says to me while flipping his hand over..... I got all your money with the same 2 red aces and he has aces full........ other guy folds face up violently with ace king of spades.
I dont want to get punched in the face but this guy was a jerk.... I say to “him you’re no good, I got it”..... he is laughing and says just muck your cards....... I say I can’t muck these babies....... and flip them over....... he called me the same things you would expect Phil Hellmuth to call someone.... idiot, stupid, moron.....
raked a monter almost 50k. Makes up for the World Series run bad.....
played another hour and donked off a few grand but left with this....
My heart was pounding just from reading the TR. Nice!
