Casino?

[/ QUOTE ]

Na, I found a sort of a home game structured similarly to a casino game. The people are cool to talk to (and most of them are pretty bad at poker to boot), and although pots are raked it isn't nearly as much as it would be in a real casino.

Awesome hand of the day for me:

6 handed, I have A8 UTG. I raise to $8, BB, the only player at the table whose game I respect, calls (He also sees me as one of the best players at the game). Villain is down about $300 and has ~$140 in front, I cover.

Flop T73 rainbow, checked down
Turn T, BB checks, I deceptively minbet (lolololol) expecting a raise and with plans to 3-bet any raise amount. BB insta-raises to $15, I quickly re-raise to $42, he thinks and folds.

Although this may have been better as a way to extract chips when I have a big hand and don't expect opponent to have much than as a massive FPS 3-bet bluff.
