So last night after I finish up in the 20-40, Rodeo shows up at our local cardroom. The games are full and it looks like to be quite some time before he gets in.

To kill some time, he and I decide to grab a quick drink at the bar. One drink quickly turns into multiple Grey Goose for him and Makers Mark for me. The list not getting any shorter, Rodeo decides to introduce one of the white chip games to 100/100/100 if I would hang out for a bit.

After the requisite amount of alcohol, I agree that this is a fine idea and offer to serve as our cocktail runner and sweat his action. Rodeo promptly sits down in a full 4-8 game with 3 racks and begins the task at hand by posting the big blind (who wants to wait for the button to pass and get a free hand when you are just going to blast bets away anyhow

Four bets preflop and a muck on the flop later, the adventure begins. At first, the players do not know what to make of what is going on. This seemingly relatively reserved red chip player sits in their game and is raising every hand preflop and mucking flops like he is the chip fairy spreading joy to the world. 3 way pots become 4 & 5 way pots which become 6 & 7 way capped preflop action.

All the while, I am shuttling back and forth to the bar to make sure our ice cubes stay wet. 3 orbits later, time for Rodeo to reload for 2 more racks of high society

During one of my frequent trips to the bar, Rodeo begins yelling at me to check out the quads 3's he made. Of course this is a monster pot and has a shot a being a $300 high hand which drives the natives crazy.

A few 20-40 peeps start railing the 4-8 game which has become a lightning rod of attention at this point. By this time, 3 of the 4-8 players have busted out or quit the game and it looks like it might bust so I decide to sit to keep the fun going. Still more or less a spectator, I decide to opt for the Jesus seat and buy in for 2 racks and nit up.

3 orbits later, having only seen 2 flops and chopped a pot with the mighty 69 suited, I decide to join the fun and blind 3! Rodeo's raise. Rules being rules, Rodeo caps and we see a flop 7 ways.

I decide that this is a good time to look to see what the poker gods have granted me and I wake up with a premium 78 off suit.

The flop comes out 569 rainbow. Certainly not the worst flop for me and it is off to the races. Rodeo apparently actually wakes up with some type of hand and fires out a bet which I decide seems like a good spot to raise

Rodeo also liking his holdings decides to 3! and I put the cherry on top with my cap. I yell out, "bring the ace of clubs!" At which time, Rodeo promptly turns over the ace of clubs in his hand. Not to be swayed by his parlor tricks, I continue to scream for the ace of clubs and we see the turn 5 or 6 handed.

The turn pairs the 5. Rodeo bets, I gleefully decide to raise, somewhere over in the other side of the casino someone decides to 3!, whereby Rodeo decides to slow down and call. Seeing no real reason to stop, I put the cappuccino on and continue to scream for the ace of clubs.

The river brings the queen of something and I bet, still get called in multiple spots and table the 78o and proceed to stack chips for the remainder of the orbit.

The next hand I play is my BB where I call the SB's preflop raise blind again because he seems to be raising quite a bit

Still not having actually seen my hand at this point, The flop comes out Q82 rainbow and I check blind after Rodeo checks and it checks all the way through 6 handed. My lighting powers of deduction lead me to believe that I must have all of it if no one bets that flop. The turn is a 5h which brings a second heart and I decide to bet dark and get called in 2 spots. After getting called, I decide to look at my hand and see Q8o. Summoning my card bringing abilities I yell for a red queen.

The poker gods deciding this shall be my "one time" slap down the queen of hearts which I hysterically bet and manage to get two calls on the river.

All told, played less than an hour, had a bazillion drinks, saw four flops (lost one, chopped one, and won two) cashed out $520 after copious amounts of buying drinks and overly generous tipping.

Good clean living

pleasure

this trip report is real and true.

btw, white chip=$1 and red chip=$5 and i had AA.

Ace of clubs coming

Thanks for a thoroughly entertaining time!

Probably the most fun I've ever had at a poker table was about 7-8 years ago. We ha a random 2+2 meet up and 8 of us went to the mirage and they started a new 4-8 table for us. I've forgotten a few people, and most no longer post here but the lineup included Heisenberg, sethypooh, mitchL?, and professorben.

Because we only could field 8 players it meant there was a revolving open seat that kept getting plugged by random players looking to play 4-8. We were playing with a manditory straddle, re-straddle, and re-re-straddle cap preflop, and if the random happened to be in the middle of the straddles we just ignored them and "blind raised" around him.

We all bought in for 3-6 racks and had a ton of people railing a 4-8 game because every pot was just monster. By far the best part were the random people who tried to sit in the game with $50. Every time someone new would join we'd laugh and warn them about what was going and tell them they'd probably rather play at a different table. Every time they'd say they were fine, try and play their regular terrible 4-8 poker, and theyd busy in 10-20 minutes, and we'd repeats the process with the next player

I sat next to Heis and we talked a lot of random poker. He gave me one of my first love poker lightbulb moments. We must have only had two straddles that hand for some reason because the random cold called 3 to the face in utg+2. Heis turned to me and said something all he the lines of "All he knew is he had a 3bet hand. Doesn't matter that the only people in the hand so far have straddled, he doesn't care. He just knows his hand is worth three bets pre, so that's all he was willing to in."


Also this post belongs in the LC/NC thread probably

Sounds like the next time you head back up here for a Blazer game, we have to fire up a 4-8 booze soaked table...most stress free, laugh filled poker game I've played in ages!

But I will reserve this type of stuff for the low content thread next time

nice story and thread. keep it up! rodeo is a certified goose lover and chip mover for sure.

Nice story. Just curious about where the game was, and how Rodeo ended for the session.

The game was in La Center at The Last Frontier. Awesome red chip games full of mostly nice casual players.

I think Rodeo dropped a few racks in this game and quickly won it back playing 20-40 afterwards.

Challenge accepted. I have to make a short trip to Portland in the near future

It's on like Donkey Kong...I'll make sure to have a fun lineup ready

With enough alcohol they're all fun line ups

BTW...just read that TR from '08. I doff my hat to you guys sir...well played!

la center, washington. I bought in for $800 and cashed out $460. math says I lost $340, but really I only lost $320 because I tipped the chip runner $20 when she brought me my first 3 racks.

depending on how the drink tips work it could be even less

btw, I may have misremembered how this challenge is supposed to go. I did the 100/100/100 challenge (100% VPIP/100%PFR/100%3bet) and am wondering if the original thing was only a 100/100 challenge (100%VPIP/100%PFR)? I might've been doing it wrong. I played in such a way that I always put in the last aggressive action pre flop. The whole 100/100 challenge deal was before my time, so I may have ****ed it up.

drinks aren't free at this casino. But brokerontilt paid for all my drinks (thank you, sir), so I saved money there. I tipped like $5 (on top of what he already tipped), so put that into the savings column along with at least 4 grey goose on the rocks at $5.75 each. drinks aren't free, but they're cheap.

You are welcome sir...small price to pay for drinks and a show!

yea you messed it all up. mark did it at i think 2/4 or 5/10 limit online and the key is that it's 100% vpip, 100% pfr, AND 100% aggression factor (meaning that you have to bet or raise on every action on every street lol)

This sounds like a nightmare at any stake above $0.10/$0.20.

Jesus you guys are butchering one of the limit hold theme greater things. The last 100 is wtsd. You can't fold when you play the 100 game. I got reported to stars for cheating when I played it with Elo on stars. Only pussies play the 100 game without 100% wtsd

That's the best part of the game when it's played with multiple people. It's obvious when someone is just trying to showdown their 7 high so you whipsaw the **** out of them just to **** them over

Definitely not aggression factor as that destroys the point of the game. When you get 3-5 people playing there is a lot of "implied collusion" because the only way to beat the normals is too play funky as c/r or raise a lot to try and force them to fold when facing multiple bets.

I had no idea how truly sick you puppies were...wow! This really is no foldem holdem

4 outer SD with live overs...raise that monster!

there must be different versions of the game. the version i was trying to do came from the micros and it was a training exercise. you're a maniac pre flop, but from the flop on, you try to play your best. it is supposed to force you into unfamiliar and uncomfortable spots in the hopes of getting better at wide range spots. like i said, it was before my time. i'm guessing it was back when everyone was playing 23/15 at 6max. whatever version i was trying to do, i know i messed it up somehow. where's dougl when you need him?

paging dougl.

Heh kind of. It's been over five years but I'm pretty sure we were just playing .5-1 online. The game is much more fun with 3-6 players

But the 100/100/100 is definitely 100% vpip, 100% pfr, and 100% wtsd.

Raise every hand preflop and then show it down somehow
