No Cheats Last Night...Just A Bully
I played a rare live game last night at a buddies house. Interestingly, it was the same buddy and house where I called out the Dirty Rat who was cheating like a punk in my last post. Check below in the prior post for details of that fun experience. Last night was much lighter fare. In fact, out of the 8 people playing, there were 3 extremely nice young women which was a first experience for me. Prior to that point, I'd never played with more than one female at a live game. It was a good time and they were pretty damn good players. To keep this relatively short, I'll hit a few of the highlights of the night...
- I knocked the first person out on maybe the 5th hand of the night.
- I got - and subsequently played - the hammer twice, winning both times. The last time was my big stack vs. his small stack and - when he minimum raised my big blind - I insta-called. Flop came with a 7 and I put him all in, to which he called showing 6's in the hole. No six on the board and no help for him and he was out.
- Much like DNasty recently, I had 10 2 in the big blind and busted a dude with 9's in the hole when I called his small all-in raise. The board came 10 (door card) to take him out, with a 2 on the turn to pour salt on his wounds.
- The best hand I got all night was J's in the hole, but I think I played my mediocre hands well to continue to build my stack without powerhouse hands.
- Down to two players left - I have at least 2 to 1 chiplead - when the following hand comes up. I have 5 - 4 soooted in big blind and he minimum raises another 1200. I call and flop comes 4 6 6. He doesn't have enough to play cutesie with, so he pushes all in. I call figuring him for two big cards like A Q or A K. He flips over A J. I'm looking good with my pair of 4's and the pair on the board. Just need to avoid an A J or...what's that on the turn...an 8...what's that on the river...another 8...fuck, my 4's are counterfeited by two pair on the board giving him two pair with Ace kicker. I went from ready to take down the game and the money to playing the freaking board (for second best hand). Ouch.
- After building my stack back to even - I actually was ahead by a few 100 chips - I look down at A 8 and push all-in. He says let's go and flips over A 7. Sweet...no 7 please. Flop comes X 8 8. The eights tooketh away earlier...now they giveth back (although I didn't really need them in the end cause he got no help).
- I ended up winning and this morning I looked back on the night and realized I knocked every single person out. That's something I don't think I've ever done. Now that's a bully baby. Every person...damn.
I haven't updated my SNG numbers yet, but I plan to do that tonight (see SNG link above for details). I also plan to try and play a couple SNG's towards the Challenge with DNasty, GaryC, and Kipper but I think wifey and I are also gonna watch some "TiVo'd" shows that really need to be viewed and deleted. Hell we still have the last four episodes of 24 to watch...how many months ago was that?
If you're looking for about 2 hours worth of reading, head on over to Iggy's blog for his most recent uuuuuuuuuuber post. It may be a few weeks before he posts again so enjoy. Oh and Jordan...I know you miss playing at UB and I haven't opened a BoDog account yet, but I might soon so I'll be able to play with you again soon. Do you still have a Noble account open?
