Brag: Move up, run into tuff_fish

MikeyPatriot · #1 12-29-2006, 11:18 PM

Didn't feel like grinding at 200NL, but wanted to play some poker. So I decide to take a shot at 400NL, since I'm rolled for it and have been putting it off. UB table selection sucks above 200NL (which sucks because I don't get RB at FTP, any suggestions?) so I open up one Stars table and one FTP table. Stack someone on the FTP table:

Stack Sizes
SB: $442.45
BB: $403.4
Hero (UTG): $400

BTN: $247.25

Preflop: 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] ($6, 5 players)
Hero raises to $14, CO folds, BTN folds, SB calls $12, BB folds

Flop: K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] ($32, 2 players)
SB bets $15, Hero raises to $60, SB calls $45

Turn: K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] [9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]] ($152, 2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $100, SB calls $100

River: K[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] [7[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]] ($352, 2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets all in for $226, SB calls $226

Results:
SB had A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] K[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (two pair, Kings and Fives)
Hero had 9[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (a full house, Nines full of Fives) and won $801
Final Pot: $801.00 ($3.00 rake)

Then, tuff_fish sits down to my left on my Stars table. I'm not sure if it's the same guy, so I do a quick 2+2 search and it seems like he has played 400NL on Stars. Yum Yum.
