Hey Gang...
I had another great night at the Tuesday Night Executive Game... graemlins/biggthumpup.gif
I bought in for $60 and cashed out for $170 after only 3 hours. I was much more consistent this time, folding the junk hands and going heavy on the monsters, and never got on a bad streak. If I didn't get the cards, I sat out the hand.
I've figured out what "friendly game" means to some folks--sitting and drinking and tossing chips into every pot hoping for a flyer. I LOVE playing with people like that. It's a friendly game, sure, but it's not a stupid game!!! Hell, I've made over $400 off those guys in the past 3 weeks.
I don't have much for memorable hands, except for one:
I was dealt pocket nines, and the flop came up 9-10-Jack. So I had trips going against everyone else hoping to catch a straight, and one guy I was pretty sure had a jack in his pocket. The pot was fairly large before the turn, and up comes another 10. So I'm looking good with a full house, but 2 guys are still betting and raising. I stayed in, hoping I was the only one with the full house...
Well, it's never happened to me before, but on the river, up comes the fourth 9!!! I bet, it got raised, back and forth, and one guy folded.
I got called, but I just said--"You got the full house, huh...." He did, and before I showed my cards he turned over his 10-Jack.
As I turned over my first nine, I said "I got three nines, but I also have a pretty good kicker..." Then I rolled the fourth nine.
Silence. Then swearing... graemlins/cussing.gif
It was beautiful! And a nice pot too. I've never had four of a kind before, so that was pretty cool.
So I'm on a pretty good streak the last 3 weeks, have made over $100 each time. Part of it is luck, a little bit of it is skill, and a lot of it is a due to a couple of guys who just won't fold... graemlins/biggthumpup.gif
