Nitty tight player at the table. The kind everyone else on 2+2 loves to hate. S'ok, I be a hatee and you be a hater...
2/5 NL, MGM Grand
Hero has been playing tight, has opened up a few pots but retreated in the face of significant playback. Stack of $600 is now about $305. Table wild and loose, lots of huge pots on bluffs and second best draw hands, blah, blah.
V1 is UTG and limps,
Hero: 6

- raises to 20, cold called by CO, Button, SB, BB and V1
Pot: $120
Flop 3

V1 leads out for 15,
Hero raises to $90 <corrected>, fold,
Button flats, the
BB reraises to $235,
V1 insta-annouces all-in for $300 and change...
I already know someone has 7,4o, but I'm not good enough and/or not stacked enough to lay down top set here, and +/- have the right odds to fill up anyway so I auto-call / get it in.
The
button announces he's all in for his $300 some stack, and it's a messy 4 way all-in. All hands are exposed.
V1 and
BB both have 7,4o which somehow survives both the combi/spade draw of the
button and the board pairing for
Hero.
Chips are called for.
600 behind, chips on the way, next hand
Hero is now UTG with: A

Raise to 35, called by
Button and

BB - Checks,
Hero leads $105, hoping it looks like a tilt bet (maybe it is?).
Button smooth calls $105 and BB folds.
Turn - $290: J
The somewhat conservative
button has just flatted my "tilt bet" on a paired board, and that actually scares me.
Hero: Checks,
Button now bets $105. Chance that
Button value bets a 9 here is almost 100%, especially if he puts me on an overpair. He still might be doing some
value-pot-control-bet type move with a strangely played QQ or KK that didn't reraise preflop, and also with a lot of other pocket pairs, so I decide to flat call the turn and try and see a cheap showdown.
River - $500: 4
Well, if I was ahead on the turn, I guess I'm still ahead now, but right about now I'm thinking I'm way ahead or way behind, and probably way behind.
Hero: Checks.
Button bets $220.
Hero vomits into a cup, says "nice hand, I call" and
Button shows J

Chips are still coming, and
Hero is now wondering if he's actually maybe on tilt now and still thinking about last two hands, and is now in the BB with a stack still-to-come of about $140 left.
Hero has K

It's limped in several places and Hero sees flop for free.
Flop - $30: 8

Hero leads out at pot with $30, everyone folds except the guy with JJ from last hand whom is now the
CO.
Turn - $90: A
Hero checks hoping that the
CO will move him all-in with almost any holding, but the
CO checks-behind.
River - $90: 6
Hero shoves for remaining notional still-to-come-stack.
CO says "I'm so sorry" and insta-calls, tabling 6

Hero insta-mucks with a high pitch peal of hysterical laughter, dealer looks startled.
Chips arrive from floor manager,
Hero gives floor manager $2, instructs floor manager to keep remaining chips in rack and send over to the nice gentleman in seat 3.
