OK I'll bite. 32s ?

Edit: Never mind. Suited hammer. Shammer. I play poker like this too. I call and then ten minutes later I realize why I should have folded/raised.

Huh? 72s is The Shammer, no?

23s should be called "I Play the Board," or just Board. Bored?

Ben, the 10/20 is just as good at foxwoods. It plays a little less crazy, but everybody is so obvious in that game that it's still very beatable for a lot of money

It's a pretty soft game. AngelFish beats it up pretty good. It's easy to know when to fold and you can still push them around a bit because many of them see MUTB.

I play in it when I want to spend time with AF, since she's a bigger poker maniac than I am. One night I checked behind on the river with KJs on a K high nothing else board as I was convinced that the way the hand was played that EP guy had KQ. I was right...

After I got to CA, I really missed the FW's 20 game; that is until I got to Commerce and played in the 40 game there. Except for the constant requests for setups.

I love when a session gets off to a great start. Tonight was one such example. When I get to the casino there isn't even a 40 game going so I get to sit in my most favorite game, 20/40.

In my very first hand in my BB I get 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], CO raises, sb coldcalls, I call.

Flop A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]7[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

SB checks, I donk to see what happens, CO folds, SB of course now c/r me and I call.

Turn 8[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I know where this is going, pick up a draw and don't get there. Or catch a 6, have him check to me and then have me value bet his set of 7s/better two pair for him. He bets I call.

River: 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
Wow I actually got lucky and sucked out on someone. He bets, I raise, he 3bets, I curse the Gods and fold, he kindly shows A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

It's not that I lost the hand, I don't care about that. I just don't understand how I manage to not just miss my draws every time, but always make just enough so that I incinerate the absolute maximum money.

Playing 30/60 and I open KK in the CO. BB is new to the table and he's the only caller.

Flop is K97r, and he bets $120. He has about $2k behind. Ethical considerations aside, what's my best course of action to get his whole stack in this limit game? Remember I have to act quickly before the dealer can straighten him out.

I think you just have to raise him one at a time extremely fast. If you can get the chips out there fast enough and the dealer either counts his raises or he flings chips fast too you have a shot. I would never suggest going all in to him but would pull a lame hollywood act if he suggested it (I don't think Bellagio will enforce this anyway so one at a time is safest).
