August Low-Content Thread

[private joker]

First one was 2 pages, next one was 3, and last month's was 4 pages. Let's break the record, people.

Actually, let's not. This is a LOW-content thread, not a no-content thread. Post interesting hands (but ones that don't require strategy debate), funny stories from B&Ms or online sessions, or anything else you think is valuable to the group. Standard bad beat whining still goes in BBV, and lame one-liner inside jokes still go in BBV4L. Self-absorbed blogging goes in El Diablo.

Have fun, and remember: play bad, get there.

Turning Stone 10/20. Very loose and very passive. I get K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] in BB. UTG folds, next eight players limp, I check.

The flop is 8 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]k [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I bet and three people call. The turn is a total blank. I bet out again and just the player in UTG+1 calls. I figure he has a king and that I have a kicker problem so I tell the dealer to put an ace on the river. The river is the A [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] and I bet. The guy thinks about it for about 15 seconds too long and then calls. Then he flips over K [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]K [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] and tells me he was worried I had pocket aces and hit the river.

4 pages??? Why is it showing up as 40 pages to me....I guess you have 10 times as many pages per screen, but I usually use show all anyways.

But lets hope I start off July (tonight) like June went, RED HOT!!!!

lolz, that reminds me of a hand from a while back

everybody folds to a tool in lp who raises (which he rarely does, so it's pretty obvious he has a big hand), folded to the sb who calls, hero in BB lays his crap down

so they're hu to the flop, which is something like 4 8 8 rainbow

sb checks, lp bets, sb calls

turn: Q

sb checks, lp bets, sb raises, lp calls

river: some random low X

sb bets, lp says: you've got pocket 8's don't you?

lp just calls and flips over pQ for the nut full, hero can't help himself and lols very hard, then sb flips over his quad eights

I obv congratulated lp on his expert play

Sick, I think I would have lost about 10 BBs on that hand with queens.

[surfdoc]

Here is the sickest hand I have seen in quite a while. Some horrible fish who keeps taking my chips and redistributing them around the table in the commerce 60 calls a decent players button steal from the BB with 33. The flop is 844 and fish c/c. The turn is an 8 and the fish c/c? The river is a 3 and the fish donks. The decent player calls and when the fish tables his boat the decent player stares at the board and mucks A3 face up. Every one of us in the game just ponders the play in silence with our jaws dropped and then simultaneous laughter erupts. The fish just turns around and starts eating with absolutely no idea what just transpired.

OK if 1-outers are the thing, here's mine ...
Saturday night 15-30 at my local cardroom ...
Luis (not Louis) is the primary villain. He's great at switching gears from LAG to maniac to uber-lag and around and around. He's running over the table with a semblance of complete bluffs, bottom pair and TPNK type hands. 3 limps to me in the hijack and I raise A,10s clubs. Clears the TAGs between me and the blinds. SB calls, Luis is in the BB calls (knew he would) and begins his talk prior to putting the money in. Imagine a thick cuban accent and a diatribe that goes something like this, "Let me look, now I need to look at you (dealer), have you got it in you. Are you going to bring it for me. Yes (sounds like jess), I think this time you got it. You going to do it for me? Bring me what I need? I want you to do it (dooo eet). OK, I put my money in!" etc. etc.

Flop come 10 high with one club. Luis bets out because he wants to see where he is ... if there is no raise he figures he is good with whatever crap he is holding. Middle position raises, which could be anything but is most likely some piece of the board. I three-bet with TPTK and the backdoor flush draw. That's just how this particular game has been playing with Luis in it. Turn comes a low club and it checks to me, I bet, Luis goes into the tank and begins another long involved conversation with himself and imploring the dealer to bring his miracle card. MP folds and I've got it heads-up. River is a non-club 2 and Luis checkraises me with his rivered set of dueces. Thus begins another diatribe of how he knew the dealer was going to " brringg eet for me!" Worse than the incessant talking, slow play and miracle card catching was that he won 2 consecutive high-hand jackpots. Just one of those nights when nothing goes wrong despite awful play. Anyway, that's my contribution to the cavalcade of 1 and 2 outers.

Cheers!

You probably had to be there for this but I thought it was hilarious. 20/40 Omaha 8 I think from last night. Crazy Mike raises button, I call in bb with 3347.

Flop 358 and I c/r he calls, turn and river are 9s and he calls down and slams his face down face up saying "I HAVE THREE JACKS" because his hand is JJJ2.

Also I think I might be addicted to Amazon. I've probably spent at least 5k there on random [censored] this year. I just bought Simpsons season 1-4 and 6-9 (already had season 5 because it's the one with the GAMBLOR episode) and 300.

30/60 hands vs NEW GUY(NG) in a game filled with regulars.

5 limpers to me OTB, incl NG) and I raise A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]Q [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], a million people call and we all see flop J 10 3 rainbow. Checked to me and I take a free one. Turn is K completing the rainbow(LALALALALALA), now NG bets , everyone mucks and I raise for teh monies! 4 bets go in on the turn.

River is 2x. NG bets again, and we go to war again. Later I learn on the 5th bet this lady sitting next to him mutters, "same hand" to her neighbor. NG says "Oh no it's not the same hand!" Anyways, he stops after 6 and MHIG vs 33. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Later he stops raising on the river at 3 bets vs another player w QJ on a AK10XX , no flush board and AGAIN later I get to go 5 turn bets with him on J 10 Q 5 board with AK, and bet/3 bet 8 river and MHIG vs 1010.

BEAT: I won $48 in this 8 hour session.

This is awesome. Crazy Mike playing non-holdem games is pretty funny.
