Speaking of "hot seats" while at the same time not trying to derail the thread:
I'm in the 8 seat, which is freezing cold due the vent right above it. I had just recently lost a $700+ pot in a 1/2 game, when I turned the nut str8 & went all-in for $185 on top of V's $75 bet. 3rd player was already all-in.
Board reads T
8
5
4
I've got 7
6
Guy calls me after much deliberation & catches a 5 on the river to go with his T5o.......
Love those type players at the table, however, I'm now in the game for $800 with only $275 in front of me & he packs up shortly thereafter & I ask for his seat. Not because it's runnin' hot....I don't believe in it. It doesn't have a vent above it.
So I rush with my chips over there because I thought he was all racked up, but he had a backpack securely strapped to his seat but I managed to post my BB & receive A
J
& win.
Next hand I get T
T
& win & now I'm up $35.00
