Default Beat & Brag: Last Night...

OK guys and gals I gotta say that this was a fun two hands. I am playing 1/2 NL with some friends, family and some strangers. I am a instinct player, but the beat shows you how bad things can go wrong.

MP (DAD) ($145)
BUTTON (BEAR)($132)
SB (roomie) ($76)
BB (Dad's friend) ($95)

I bet the pot: $20. sb folds, bb folds, ug calls and dad calls

Ok, so i put ug on a ten andmy dad on backdoor flush draw and straight...he loves to chase. So, yeah, this was dumb. I should have raised...most likely pushed here, but wait it gets worse.

Dad takes pot and smiles at me like he still knows what is best.[/list]
Wow, did I play that bad and on that hand he did know what is best, but he turned the straight. My dad never slow plays anythihg, so this was new move for him. good job, i guess. anyway, i deserved to get my [censored] pushed in here, i played this about as bad as i could.

New hand. Three hours later. Same [censored]...almost.

Like I said, I am hating this guy for doubling the blind utg. So, I spite call the SOB. My dad is sitting with $172, and I improved back to a good chip stack of $146.

UG BETS $6
Dad calls
Bear calls
sb folds
bb folds
pot: $38[/list]I call here, because I am trying to set a trap, I know my dad is on a draw, A-10 OR J-10 and UG is proabably thinking his K-10 OR K-9 is a God and will win him the pot.
<ul type="square">
The turn: A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
BOARD: K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
UG bets $10
Dad calls
Bear raises to $20
UG CALLS
DAD CALLS
POT:$98[/list]
What a fine mess i have gotten myself into again I think. Still not worried that much, like i said my dad never slow plays and he loves to chase, he must be looking for a jack. No way he has J-10. plus, he is still proabably steaming from the last hand where he misread his hand AND UG can sit over there all he wants with his K-10 or K-9.
<ul type="square">
THE RIVER: 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]
BOARD: K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

"No, you didn't Dad, and neither did I. Sorry, I am stealing from your retirment and cigarette fund."[/list]
My dads storms otuside for a smoke and says good hand on the way out. "I need a cigarette," he claimsas he leaves the room. His friend leans over and says, "He needs another smoke like he needs another bad beat from his son." Funny. And I go about stacking my ol' man's chips.

Overall: Last night after 7 hours of work: $216 in profit
