I am really new to posting on here so please excuse any mistakes.
The table has been very social with everyone talking, drinking and having a good time. The dealers and floor have allowed/overlooked many things including players talking about the hands in multi-way pots. On several occasions 4 of the players chose to go $100 blind pre-flop and check it down. Typical Friday night 1/2NL crowd
Hero (865) -mid 40's and tonight is playing fairly tight, but the table doesn't notice. I get called on every street by two players after 3-betting Aces from the big blind and flopping top set.
V1 (200 fresh rebuy)- mid 30's, well dressed, no idea of whats going on, drunk. Played every hand for the last 2 hours and is into the game for $1200. Will fold only if he misses flop. Calls down everything with any pair and calls any draw.
V2 (~1200)- young college kid, he always seems to know where he is in a hand, a winning player that mixes it up. He has also been drinking and having fun with his side of the table.
Hand: UTG straddles 4 - V1 makes it $15 from MP1 and V2 makes it $40 from MP2. Hero flats with Q
Q
from SB.
thoughts on flatting here? I didn't want to inflate the pot oop against a player that is probably better than me.
V1 tank raises to $80. V2 tank calls. Hero calls.
thoughts on flatting here? Can a fold be justified here?
Flop: (~235) 10
8
3
V1 leads $60
V2 immediately announces all in
before i could act ....
V1 says he is all in and proudly flips over A
K
and says, "I got the nuts!"
before i could act again......
V2 says, "I got the real nuts" and shows J
9
the dealer almost deals the turn and I have to stop him to let him know that i am still in the hand. I joke and say that it's pretty tough to beat two guys that have the nuts.
thoughts on what to do here? Is this a snap call? or is it a fold? I only had $80 invested and would have folded if any A or K came on the flop, but i was torn. I felt that if i didn't see the cards i would have folded, but i did see them. I some how justified in my brain that if i called and only beat V2 and i discounted hearts thinking that V2 had 6 outs twice and i should put the money.
Turn: (595 main) (1330 side) 7
River: 3
One of the regs at the table sitting to my right told me to report the hand to the floor as it is a rule in this room that any exposed hand is a dead hand.
Thoughts on this?
After seeing my stack get pushed across the table, i just kept thinking to myself that there would have been so many better spots. I still ended up having a winning session, but my brain is still on this hand.
