HH. 1/2/ms. ms = winner Must Straddle at least $5.
Started w $500, thinking pro covers.
Thinking Pro: 40 yr old pro. Already doubled his $500 stack when he got it in on a flopped flush versus AA (w nut Flush draw). Now playing $1k. Both of us hv mutual respect for each other's game. He normally plays 5/5/10 plo/nlhe. He just won a $10k WSOP seat in a wsop 30 player league. Skewed to laggy side.
$5 Straddle in the sb. *Yes, in this 1/2ms game u can straddle the sb.
I open $15 in bb w 2 red cowboys. A player in mp calls, and cutoff calls.
Pot: $45

I lead $15 w top set, one fold, and Thinking Pro
raised to $60. Awwwwwwww. His spoken words "raise" was pure bliss to my ears. Poker euphoria at its finest. It felt like I was ascending to the Poker heavens, but I did my best to show that I was uncomfortably grounded to this Poker earth.
I decide to take my nuts the call route w intentions of check raising non spade turns.
Pot: $165
