Home game adventures with Poke
So yesterday went to this home game that i have gone to two times before. It is a VERY official game held three times a week. They play NLHE $1/$2 Tuesdays n Thursdays and .50 / 1.00 on sundays. It is in the hood, but is very covertly set up, fully equipped with cameras on the outside of the house, various dinner foods nightly, a waitress, drinks, and big screen TV.
I would go to this game everyday if i didnt play online, plus i like taking peoples money non- face2face.
Anyways got there at 4:00PM game started with 9 players. I bought in for $100.
The group i play with is all older people with ass tons of money to lose i guess and i know most of them from bar poker. All in all they are idiot chase donkey stupid super fish. They know i play online, they know im better than them, the whole shibang.
I will tell you about three pivotal hands.
Early in the game theres some limpers, so i limp AA, guy to my direct left pops it to 3, guy to my right pops it to 14, i pop it to 28, original raiser folds and 14 guy calls. flop is xxx he checks, i shove, he folds.
He musta got tilted after this cause he started straddling all his button (my BB) for $3. He likes to straddle and when the action gets back to him he raises 85% of the time. I had Q9o in the BB 1 time he did this, i figure Q9 annihalates his range so we see a flop. Flop is 9xx all hearts. I shove, he calls, no hearts hit and my 9 takes it. doubled up this time. now im sitting with $200 from my original $100
Over time people started going bust and taking long sit out breaks n such so were were playing short handed. of course i have to unleash the beast 6 handed and shorter. I tried to make a move with AJ, but whole tables called pre and i just hit the breaks with AJ getting that many callers. Another hand i had 63 on the button raised and repped an ace very well, and got a guy to fold an ace on an AKxx board. Obviously people saw i was becoming aggressive which is great for my image imo, for when i hit the nutz.
A few hands later (and after i announced i was leaving in 30 minutes) just as my 30 was coming up, i get JTo in the cut off. I raise, button calls all else fold, we are 5 or 6 handed at the time. The button is a stupid loose rich deep pocket donkey fish who prides himself on playing as such (he's "watched this game on TV b4" he says). Flop comes TTQ. I bet 75% of the pot just cause i know he will call. Turn is a 9. I bet 75% of the pot again. River is a T. I think 4 a bit. i know this guy is dying to bust me or make me look bad as he does so many times, so i shove allin. He wants a count, and in the middle of me counting he calls. i flip over and proclaim "quad tens"! scooped a $460 pot + 30 dollar quad bonus. I tipped the dealer ten. The guy says " i put you on a ten til the last one came out" typical fish thinking and i knew he would think that. Thats why i shoved $200 into a 50 dollar pot and knew i'd get a call.
I did earlier double pot river bluff earlier trying to represent quads or a big boat n got this same guy to fold his baby boat. Maybe he just wasn't having it two times and wanted revenge.
Very next hand he goes all in, i look down @ K4cc. i thought he shoved for 27 dollars. I looked at him n said i'll do whatever you say do. you say call.. i'll call... u say fold... i'll fold. He says " i shove to get called" plus table wanted me to call so i did. I was then informed his shove was for $47 not 27... that kinda sucked but hey it was his money. board comes xxx x x. I already showed my K4 but he didnt show his til the river. He flips over 22. He gets 47 bucks back off me and i them proclaim "OK, im gone". I felt ok leaving since i just donated back. Left with $400 bux in about 3 hours
was a good sunday
