Re: nice lil oldie (bad larrys)
This should be a GREATEST POSTS OF ALL TIME tribute thread. People can pick their top 5 and debate on them and subsequently hate each other for their terrible and wrong decisions.

BAD BEAT at the 10-20
I wandered down to the place by the lake, near the Shilo Inn, to participate in a little 10-20. Here's what happened.... I get the 4-seat in what looks to be rock garden, but the fun is about to begin. 3 hands in, I'm 4 left of the button, and this transpires: I'm dealt bandanas. It's called to me, I raise it. Goes on call, raise, call, raise, cap. Called capped all the way around, and I'm thinking "Sweet!" Flop comes down a potpourri, and I've got the nuts. Comes raised to me, I re-raise, winds up capped with *7* callers. Yes, seven. I don't know what to think. I'm a little nervous about 6-seat. I've seen him before, and he's a cold rock. I don't know what to put him at. Wired handbags? Inside edge? Green Hornet draw? I just don't know. Initially, I would've thought rockets... but he wasn't sitting up straight enough. 8-seat is also familiar, but I know her style. I put her on Caracas Maracas and not worry about her; she'll call to the river; free money. 2-seat's hands are actually SHAKING as he bets. He's obviously got a Michigan going on, and that worries me a little bit... so I try to scare him off and put him on tilt by pulling off the famous "try to re- raise the cap". He doesn't fall for it -- not even a flinch. Could be trouble... I'm not even sure what I want to see on the turn. You're probably thinking a black Pollyanna would lock this up, but keep in mind that there are still a lot of unknowns going on -- it could easily help someone else just as much. Anyway, not to worry... the turn: RED RAG. You should've seen the look on 3 and 5 seats. It was comical. Well, there's two gone at least. Quick betting, and once again it's capped, but only 4 left. Me, 2-seat, 6-seat and 8-seat. Now it gets interesting. RIVER: black flamingo. Even the dealer was amused. It comes checked all the way to me. What can I do... I bet it. It then gets RAISED... FOLD, FOLD. Yes! 2-seat folded. Man, I'd love to know what he had. Anyone hazard a guess?? After the turn, I'd thought he was trying to catch a flag coming off third, but clearly that was way off. Anyway, that's a whole discussion on its own. Back to me, and just 6-seat left. Me and him, mano a mano. Again, what can I do? RE-RAISE! And, believe it or not, he RAISED IT RIGHT BACK AT ME. What can you do?? I mucked it, and he took it down. I still can't believe it. Thinking back, there are a couple of things that come to mind. For one, had I been a little more aggressive earlier on, I may have managed to get myself all in -- and that could've forced a showdown and avoided this whole experience. Or maybe, when you've got 7 callers, you just know to get the hell out, no matter what you have. Let this be a lesson!!

BAM
[ QUOTE ] Hey guys, I played some hands for 5 minutes today. I ended up making some money, but I need to ask - is my BB/100 pretty good? I don't know. Sometimes I can just wave my hands around really fast then slap myself in the face a bunch of times, and my opponents cards just appear to me like some wierd vision. Even when my eyes are closed. Here are my stats for thismorning: I guess it was okay. But not as good as veal scallopini, I love that stuff. Sometimes you just gotta go for the goal, and I think that marscaponi and liver sauce is okay for that. Its just about believing in yourself. I also told her that I wasn't really into Def Leppard, and she seemed to understand ok. The thing is though, I got knocked out in the semi's and it was totally not fair. I had double faulted twice, which I agree, was my bad. But then this guy served one right on the line, but I knew it was out, so now I'm gone. But I walked over and asked the floor manager if there was a dessert buffet, and he just winked at me like "right on, brotha", so then I was happy. So anyways, follow your dreams. You can reach your goals, I'm living proof. You know the rest. -EEZama [/ QUOTE ] |
