So, when the recent San Diego fires hit we got evacuated from our house. I wasn't home at the time so I had to tell my wife where all the cash was stashed away around the house. She scooped it up and tossed it into a duffle bag with a bunch of other stuff. We return home the next day and I note that the funds are pretty sloppily located in the bag but I drag them out and put them back in the usual spots. I later count it and I am guessing I am short but to be honest I hadn't recently totalled it. I was thinking that it was probably a bad idea to bring it up. I didn't forsee things going well when I imagined the conversation.

"Hey babe, have you seen any missing money."

"No, what are you talking about? How much are you missing."

"Ummm, I don't really know. Maybe 5-10K."

"WTF, are you shiiiting me. You don't even know?"

Anyway, for obvious reasons, I made the exucutive decision to just let it go.

Fast forward to today. I worked yesterday and my wife took the kids to Disneyland. She packs a duffle bag with a change of clothes and as they are changing from some water ride looks down and says to my kids "oh look at your cute daddy. He has a pink and purple poker chip in the bag. One for each of you." Then she lifts them up and realizes the pink is a commerce 5k and the purple and ocean's 500. She throws up a little in her mouth and then tucks them back away. She comes home and says, "guess what I found today babe." She shows me and laughs. I break out in the running man which I am somewhat ashamed to say that I still do pretty well.

cliff notes: I lose two big chips. I find them. I am an idiot. My wife rules. I got a safe deposit box.

Wild and crazy main game at Casino AZ 20/40. I was planning on playing an 8 hour session or so today, but had to stay for 12 cause the game was off the hook.

I raise UTG with AQs, two non blinds call, and I am drawing to runner runner to chop on a 356 flop (they both had 74).

I had to threebet with AJ preflop 5 times, and all 5 times I was well ahead of villains range (and lost all 5).

I ended up taking little less than a rack out, but my expectation had to have been at least 3 BB/hour. For a two hour period, our average pot size was about 600ish.

I was sitting in an ok/decent $40/$80 limit hold'em game. One of the toughest players was a 50-something white woman named Kat. She's apparently been playing a very long time and she used to run a poker class for women every week at Hollywood Park for several years. A buddy of mine was at a car wash in the Valley a couple of weeks ago browsing through the gift shop and found a poker book written by her. (I swear I am not making this up.) Anyway, she seemed like a classic grinder, tight and aggressive, probably makes a decent living through the game. She seemed to understand the dynamics of the table and also seemed to know everyone else at the table except me.

She had been raising my blind *everytime* she was on the button, sometimes with hands like 6-5 sooted. I decided I had enough of this nonsense and would use my tight image to my benefit against her soon enough.

It's her button again and, sure enough, she raises once it's folded to her. The small blind, a regular donator, 3-bets and has very few chips left. I look down at Ace-Jack offsuit and cap it up. Kat looks confused and calls, the small blind calls and is all-in.

Flop: JT8r

I bet, Kat folds. I turn over my hand and small blind shows KQ. My hand holds up and the small blind rebuys. Whatever, this isn't an exciting hand and I thought my play was very, very standard.

Kat starts freaking out! She turns to another player and says "CAN YOU BELIEVE HE 4-BET ME WITH ACE JACK! THAT'S RIDICULOUS!" She goes on and on about it to the players at her side of the table for a good orbit or so. 20 minutes later, a new player sits down near her and I see her pointing in my direction. "3-bet..... cap.... Ace-Jack offsuit!" It is clear that my play has completely blown her mind and might be the most maniacal thing she's seen in 25 YEARS AS A POKER PRO OMG WTF.

An hour or so later, a couple of the weaker players have busted and we're playing 5-handed. The button, a young white dude who's a poker/sports betting pro/degen, raises. He seems good and aggressive, which means he has two cards here. Kat is in the small blind and 3-bets it. I am in the big blind. I have King-Queen offsuit. I know the button is full of it, and I know Kat knows the button is full of it. So I cap. The button looks all sheepish and calls. Kat looks at me with alarm/surprise and calls. Three of us.

Flop: A83r

Kat checks, I bet. The button folds. Kat shoots me a strange look; I am doing my best to look as bored as possible. She calls. I put her on a small pair or perhaps even a hand like mine.

Turn: 6

Kat checks again. The pot is big and I would like to win it, so I bet. I have no intention of putting more chips in the pot. She looks at me again, then flashes her cards to the button and mucks. I win the pot and quietly muck my cards as I toss the dealer a blue chip. I'm a little annoyed that the button guy got to see what she folded and I didn't, but I don't want to draw attention to what just happened, so I let it go.

Kat (to the button): Would you have laid that down?
Button (looking at me): I don't like your laydown.
Kat: Well, he might have bluffed me.

30 minutes go by. All of a sudden, Kat yells (yes, yells), "I KNOW YOU BLUFFED ME OUT OF THAT POT!"

Me (trying to look dumb): Huh?
Guy who was on the button: Did you have the ace?
Me (starting to realize the magnitude of what went down): What did you lay down there?
Guy and Kat: Pocket Kings!
Me (making a cringy face): You wouldn't believe what I had.
Kat: I KNEW IT!!!

10 minutes later, I 3-bet preflop with Ace Jack (my favorite new hand, obv) and win a huge pot when I flop a Jack vs the Guy who was on the button's TT and turn trips. As I rake in said pot, the weakest player at the table busts and it's down to me, Guy who was on the button, Kat, and another good player. I decide to be like George Costanza and make a timely exit. As I start to rack up, I see Guy who was on the button and Kat looking as annoyed as I've ever seen two winning players look.

Kat says to the Guy who was on the button, "Don't worry. He'll be back. They always come back."

Well, at least she read me right that time.
