Official August Turning Stone Thread (pt. 2, the actual events)

[LegendofLink]

i believe somewhere earlier in this thread ansky said he runs worse than anyone live ever, ansky, you could not be more dead wrong.

finished a lovely 10/20 session earlier this morning, i think i was 1/5 in the big pots that i played. I'm not sure if posting cash game hands in this thread is acceptable, but w/e.

early on the entire table limps and I find 89 suited otb, I make it 140 to go and the utg limper makes it 400 (hmmm, the good old limp raise from utg, aces right?). I call, risk 240 to win 2k, why not. Flop is 8K8 rainbow (yahtzee! at least this is what i think at the time). He leads for 500, I expertly minraise (we're gettin all in regardless, might as well hasten the process), he raises his last 600 and I call. blanks on turn and river, trip 8s no good against kings full.

later on i make it 80 from MP with 1010, button makes it 260, I call. Flop is 109x with 2 hearts (yahtzee! my initial thoughts again). I check, he insta-shoves for 950, I insta call, running hearts, KKh is good.

Later on a new player (who I realize now was skier5) makes it 80 from EP, I call with 35s (1 other caller). Flop is 4K6 rainbow. Skier leads for I think 150 or 175, I call. 3 on the turn, skier checks and I have a nasty feeling I'm getting checkraised if I bet so I check behind to try and hit for free. 2 on the river. Initially I thought he either had a pp below the kings or a king and was gonna c/r turn or decided to slow down. Either way he checks and I bet 400 hoping he'll look me up, instead he makes it 1450 and I want to vomit. Bunch of thougts go through my head but eventually I make a crying call and he tables 75 for the nuts. Awesome.

Also, clayton I already payed christian his LL money.
