I was inspired by
this thread to post the following hand, so instead of derailing the thread, into OMGWTFBBQ it goes.
Table is 6 handed, I have 220BB, my nemesis is sitting on my left and has me covered. I straddle UTG. Nemesis double straddles because he likes raising me every chance he gets, even before we have cards.
Nemesis announces this is his last hand and asks if I want to play the hand blind. I say sure. Its understood either can look at anytime, but the challenge is to not look as long as possible. He knows my unspoken rule is not to look unless someone raises me.
We cap our cards and luckily it folds to us (not a huge coincidence, as this pot was getting 3bet at least if anyone dipped their toe in). I raise to 12bb, nemesis calls.
Flop (pot is 23bb): AQ7 rainbow
I bet 16bb, nemesis snap calls.
Turn (pot is 55bb): AQ78
I bet 30bb. Nemesis says he has to look at his cards now. I grin. He peeks and quickly says "I'm all in".
"Man, now you made
me look," I say as I peel back my cards. I have AQ. I super-duper-snap call his shove and turn up my cards.
"Oh ****!" he yells and shows me A8 for the wafflecrushed two pair.
River (pot is 440bb): AQ788
Good times. Good times.
