Not sure this can be topped..
I am sure that this might be a Darwin candidate...and well..don't even want to admit it really..but here goes..
Playing a new cash game tonight, blinds .50/1.00, Stack are shallow and pretty level as max buy in is 20.00, 5 players..2 knowns. Villian is Lagtard (well known to me).... No matter the raise, pretty much a family pot every time...
Limped around and checked by me in BB
I have Jc9d
flop 9h Qh Qs
sb checks, I bet 4.00, fold, villian calls, fold, sb fold.
Turn 4h
I check, he gets all puffy and does his usual bluff maneouver (common for him) and shoves in his last 10 bucks or so..I figure him on the flush draw now..this is a common move for him to bet heavy with the draw.. I call.
He flips Jh 6h
"Nice hand" I say as I launch my trash into the muck...(already tilted from a few prior hands..forgetting the river card...)
River is of course, a 9.
Doh!

I get AcJs utg....raise to 2.50...only get one caller...shocker really...but he is LAGtard as well...
flop 6 9 3 rainbow...
I bet 4 bucks...he hmms and hawss...calls.
turn Q
I bet 8 bucks...he hmms and haws and calls...
River...9
I know he isn't on the 9....he isn't happy about the second nine for some reason...pretty easy to read..lots of facial expressions from this guy that match his hands....and I have played this like I have played my big pairs, which were pretty frequent, so I think I can push him off..
I shove for my last 11 bucks..
He ponders for nearly 3 seconds and calls...
he shows 4 6o
Ok, reload again...lol
I tighten right up..get a few hands, double my stack back up to get my two extra buy ins back...
then finally pick up another decent hand.. AsJs..I like the big aces and kings, because any ace or king is gold to these guys.
Again..raise to 2.50 utg...
First lagtard calls, everyone else folds...flop comes out AQ7..all hearts..I check waiting for him to bet...he bets out 6 bucks...normal draw bet for him...but I have made him fold with reraises so...we min raise (which works in this game)..
He reshoves all in for another 15 bucks on top of the call...completely strange for him in this spot..when he has a made hand he bets slow.. It isn't right...I call
He shows A7...doh!!
Life is better when the turn card pairs the Queens and my J kicker plays..and a river brick.
I am looking forward to going back to this game...now that I have a feel for the place. Winning hands were often, and I mean OFTEN...K4, 24s (one guy's signature cards as he likes to call them), A7, Q8....trash like that..I just need to tighten my strings a bit more and it should be a decent game..they all show up usually with 60-80 bucks in hand..
i finished the night up 30 bucks.
