so like i said in the LC thread im retiring from regular live pokar playing

this is the most memorable hand i've ever witnessed. i was waiting for grease to post it but he hasnt gotten around to it, so...

10/20 full ring live at borgata

a huge donk limps utg. some other limpers blinds check

FLop A78 two diamonds. checked to utg who bets, some callers including sb (another donkey).

turn T putting up two flush draws.

sb leads out. bb folds. UTG raises. SB 3 bets. UTg 4 bets. SB 5 bets. 6, 7, 8 , 9, 10 , 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, and 16 bets go in. everyone at the table looks pissed off because its obviously a chop and we are paying a time charge.

finally sb calls.

turn is a 6 completing a club draw. sb checks, utg bets, sb calls.

sb's hand: 96 (no flush)

utg's hand: Ad9d. yes you read that right.

after the hand was over utg berated the sb for putting so much money in with crap.

gg poker

How can anyone retire from live poker playing with action like this?!?! ;-)

Sad that you're retiring Kit. What does "regular" playing mean, a few times a week (so now you'll only go out once a month or on special occasions)?

Live poker will always be there; methinks you'll get the itch to come back eventually. Join me at the 2/4 table! ;-)

Sorry Kit, I meant to make up a trip report, but I've been writing a manuscript that's due Monday=/.

I was between the two morons going back and forth. They wanted to get it all in on the turn, but the floor only let them go one bet at a time.

They were usually loose-passive; I have no idea what happened.

Check your PM.

never say never...

good luck in whatever else you are pursuing bro.

will you still come around or are you completely finished?

So the dude that won didn't even have the nut straight? That's crazy that he could do that unless he actually saw the Ace in the other players hand. Nice

Kit, as to you retiring, good luck in your future endeavors (med school) and someday I know I'm going to run into you at a table

Don't they both have the same non-nut straight? SB had the straight on the turn, UTG tied on the river.

Good luck with you future plans, Kit.

Actually one had the non-nut straight, and the other hand one pair, a one-card straight draw and the nut flush draw. A diamond on the river and we'd have another "stabbing in AC" thread.

As for Kit, I don't know what to say man but Good Luck.

My reading comprehension levels clearly go in the crapper on Friday afternoons.

Nh sir.

Good luck, kit. Medical school was probably going to cut into your play significantly anyway. Hope you will be back.

Good luck,

Bob T.

Well, if your med school is anything like mine was, you won't have much live playing time. Best of luck, kit. Any idea what field you want to do when you finish?

Edit to add: even if you do, you'll likely change your mind a couple of times along the way.

thanks to everyone for the good wishes in this thread!

special thanks go out to those people who influenced my play the most on 2p2: James., guyontilt, Oink, MilesDyson, Bob T., ProfessorBen, and TT.

also, best of luck to all the up-and-comers on this forum: Jesse, gobbledy (get out of 2/4 PLEASE), afriaazaa, leo, mwette, mikeca, hyperr, rossi, pokr, bubblemint, oneouter.

finally, a big shout to all the 2p2ers who i've met and who've been there when i needed it. grease, jkam, babar, thehip, johnnyrocket, penner, imbetteratgolf, dagger, wook, boc, tiger, chillrob, scoresman, davidc, RobA, and lots more.

good luck everyone!

neurology or psychiatry. it's all about the brain.

lots more $ in neurosurgery (you get paid by the job); psychiatry is "workin' by the hour"; neurology is the worst of both worlds

All the best Kit. You've been one of the top 2-3 contributors to this forum in the year or so that I've been here. Appreciate your insights on how to LAG it up in position.

We'll miss the unique activar and solid poker advice.

Good luck Kit. Thanks for making solid contributions & helping our games out. Poker is an activity that you can enjoy the rest of your life, whether you play a lot or a little.. A hobby that you can make money at. Hmmm...Sounds pretty goot to me mon.

But for now: Gynecology is calling you dude!

why are u "quitting?"

I just want to add my good wishes Kit. While I read a lot more than I post, yours were some of the first that got my attention. I've learned a lot from you.

Thanks,
Al

You will be missed until you come back Kit. Hope that is soon.

good luck, hope you can play recreationally, occasionally

From now on when I picture Kit I'm just going to picture Kutner. Definitely the LAG version of Doctor.

Long Live Chino!
