BEST/WORST poker session so far

[vladzhuk]

been playing live 1-2 NL (200$ max buy-in) at my local casino for a bit now

i will make it short, if you want to know more i can explain if you want.



- worked my stack to 500$ lost with KK vs QQ all in preflop for 1.1k (someone blind raised to 100$ then QQ guy min 3 bet it i shoved he called, dealer peels out the window card QUEEN) pot in 1-2 NL, ok so this is nothing at all, like a zillionth time i lost 1k (500xBBs)pot in 1-2, so i rebought and keep on playing...



- after next 2 hours our table has 13k on the table combined (yup 13,000$, average stack being 1k+, but two guys have 3k~ in this sickest 1-2 game i have ever been in)...i work up my stack again from 200$ to 1.2k by playing as many raised pots in position as humanly possible (raising ATC after his limps - he never folded preflop if you raised, ok no need for live NL strategy in here i guess) vs one of the 3k stacks, cause he was SO BAD and had such easy tells.



- Brad "Yukon" Booth walks into the casino (this the regular casino where he plays, but usually 5-10 or higher NL whatever have have going at that time. but he sit at our table since we have people coming form other tables and all pit bosses at dealers are overlooking this SICKEST 1-2 game they have ever seen. we all ask him about HSP (who is the biggets fish, how does so and so play), Brad is one of the coolest/nicest/funniest poker players you will ever meet.

one hand involving Brad: UTG guy makes it 15$ to go, Brad calls OTB, flop Q96r - UTG checks, Brad fires 35$, UTG check min donk raises to 70$, Brad looks at him and gives off this look as if he just got caught stealing and goes to throw his cards into the muck with one hand but then quickly pulls it back and 35$ (calls) fall on the felt from under the same hand that was going to muck the cards (magic tricks in a poker game, first), turn 5 (so board is Q975) and it goes check check, river 2 (Q9752) and UTG fires 60$, Brad says "ahh i missed my double gutter" and shows Jh8h...UTG smiles and shows 43o for nut low (and we all talk about how it will be a good story, Rounders blah Johny Chan blah blah...



- UTG makes it 10$, useless raise since we all have 1k+ stacks, but it is still 1-2 NL, he gets 2 callers, i find KK in the BB and make it 52$ to go...UTG snap calls me (by the way if i was him i play the hand the same exact way based on our stacks, but im 100% sure he has no idea why)...two other "limper" (10$ callers) call also, so we have 208$ pot preflop, my stack 1.4k, UTG 1.3K, MP1 500$, Button 3k:
flop: K85 (by now all of you obv know what will happen and what UTG has, so i save the time for you to read another BBStory and leave it at that)



feel free to make fun of me, my spelling/grammar (english is not my first language) and my play, but tell me what you think, this was the sickest 200$max buy in game i have ever been in, and for results of the final hand take a guess i will tell you if you really want, but as i said its too easy

- that night makes me love this game ever more, at the same time as i am still shocked over the results from the last hand





your fellow poker student/2p2er,

Eh tell us what happened in the final hand. He had aces and you stacked him? He had 8s and caught a 1-outer? He had 67 and got lucky?
