Here is the sickest hand I have seen in quite a while. Some horrible fish who keeps taking my chips and redistributing them around the table in the commerce 60 calls a decent players button steal from the BB with 33. The flop is 844 and fish c/c. The turn is an 8 and the fish c/c? The river is a 3 and the fish donks. The decent player calls and when the fish tables his boat the decent player stares at the board and mucks A3 face up. Every one of us in the game just ponders the play in silence with our jaws dropped and then simultaneous laughter erupts. The fish just turns around and starts eating with absolutely no idea what just transpired.

OK if 1-outers are the thing, here's mine ...
Saturday night 15-30 at my local cardroom ...
Luis (not Louis) is the primary villain. He's great at switching gears from LAG to maniac to uber-lag and around and around. He's running over the table with a semblance of complete bluffs, bottom pair and TPNK type hands. 3 limps to me in the hijack and I raise A,10s clubs. Clears the TAGs between me and the blinds. SB calls, Luis is in the BB calls (knew he would) and begins his talk prior to putting the money in. Imagine a thick cuban accent and a diatribe that goes something like this, "Let me look, now I need to look at you (dealer), have you got it in you. Are you going to bring it for me. Yes (sounds like jess), I think this time you got it. You going to do it for me? Bring me what I need? I want you to do it (dooo eet). OK, I put my money in!" etc. etc.

Flop come 10 high with one club. Luis bets out because he wants to see where he is ... if there is no raise he figures he is good with whatever crap he is holding. Middle position raises, which could be anything but is most likely some piece of the board. I three-bet with TPTK and the backdoor flush draw. That's just how this particular game has been playing with Luis in it. Turn comes a low club and it checks to me, I bet, Luis goes into the tank and begins another long involved conversation with himself and imploring the dealer to bring his miracle card. MP folds and I've got it heads-up. River is a non-club 2 and Luis checkraises me with his rivered set of dueces. Thus begins another diatribe of how he knew the dealer was going to " brringg eet for me!" Worse than the incessant talking, slow play and miracle card catching was that he won 2 consecutive high-hand jackpots. Just one of those nights when nothing goes wrong despite awful play. Anyway, that's my contribution to the cavalcade of 1 and 2 outers.

Cheers!

You probably had to be there for this but I thought it was hilarious. 20/40 Omaha 8 I think from last night. Crazy Mike raises button, I call in bb with 3347.

Flop 358 and I c/r he calls, turn and river are 9s and he calls down and slams his face down face up saying "I HAVE THREE JACKS" because his hand is JJJ2.

Also I think I might be addicted to Amazon. I've probably spent at least 5k there on random [censored] this year. I just bought Simpsons season 1-4 and 6-9 (already had season 5 because it's the one with the GAMBLOR episode) and 300.

This is awesome. Crazy Mike playing non-holdem games is pretty funny.

heh I did something I haven't done before and it made me feel kinda dirty. 30 MM game folded to small blind 6 handed who throws in a chip. I am in the BB with AA and uh pause and throw out 3 chips, then feel weird and say "uh you wanna chop?" and the dude (awful clueless jackpot winner who I'm pretty sure is coked up) looks all weird and can't figure out what to do and I just say "uh lets play" and he calls and check folds the flop. LOL.

Set a goal to play enough hands to make $12k this month playing live 20/40. After day 1, plus $2k. [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] soft local game

[Vehn]

oh I found free monies! I somehow miscounted a 5k stack and discovered 1k extra! cheer.

and another possible first for me tonight, I successfully 3-barrel bluffed someone off of top pair by raising preflop with KJ, getting coldcalled, getting raised on a A 9 7 board, and then 3 betting flop and betting turn and river u/i. My image is awesome.

Sounds about right for me the way things have been going lately. Today was one of my better sessions losing only $1500. I was up 2k to start but then I got Crazy Mike to come play and everyone else started playing terrible, and apparently the better the game becomes, the easier it is for me to lose all my money. Got to play my ideal HU opponent as the game appeared to be breaking, one of those tight guys with no imagination that folds either the flop or turn without a real hand or draw. I broke his spirit after calling him with J high and eventually felted him, so I ended up winning back some of the money the experts won from me while Crazy Mike was in the game.

Also the best part of the night is when this dealer comes from an $8/16 game so she has some pink $2 chips. She uses one for the drop and Crazy Mike says "WHY DID SHE JUST DROP A $5000 CHIP?" I start cackling like a retard because it's hilarious, Mike gets this retarded jackolantern grin on his face because he made a funny, everyone else just sits there because they don't get it.

Seriously though, I need to win like 40k this month to make up for June/July because this summer has just been a disaster of horrible breakeven results in some of the most insanely profitable games I've ever been in.
