Picture it: Busy casino, Saturday Morning, Poker Room....I'm playing no-limit texas hold-em. Max buy in is $400 bones so I buy in at 400. Here are some real beauties for you:
Beauty #1: I have AK and the flop comes down AK5. Flop top two pair and I bet $20 into a $18 pot. I get called by 2 ppl and raised by a 3rd. So I re-raise to a hundo and get two to fold and one caller. Turn comes down J. Does this cat have a straight? Nope, I didn't put him on that but I wanted to find out where I was. He bets $90 and only has about another $80 in chips. So, what to do?.........I pushed all and he called so fast that I thought I was beat. He turns over AJ for two pair and of course I have the higher two pair. But with one card to come, $500ish dollars in the pot and him having two outs, I knew I was sunk. Yup, another J came out on the river.
Beauty #2: Again I have AK (I am starting to seriously hate those starting cards). I raise pre-flop and get called by SEVEN, yes 7 ppl. LMAO. Flop comes down A-rag-rag. So I know someone called with A-Rag so to find out where I am I bet $20 and get called by four players. LOL this is too funny. Long story short I bailed know that A-rag had two pairs and I was right.
Beauty #3: You know what? I am kinda tired reliving this right now. Let's move on to a good thing.
A Good thing: I have JK suited in spades. The clown in #1 above is in the hand with me along with two others. Two spades on the flop that I bet and get called on. Another spade on the turn gives me the K high flush. I bet it and Mr. Clown re-raises me. So, I re-raise him and he calls. Rag on the river and I go all in for $100ish and he calls. About a $425 pot. He turns over Q-10 of spades and the planets aligned, the sun shown, the stars wept tears of joy, the deer jumped, the birds sung, for once the Better Hand stood up AND paid off. Have I mentioned that I love poker?
