Snow & Poker - Part II
At 11:00 the snow was coming down but it was time to get to the Poker room! Made it safely before things got bad but the next 12 hours we would be sick in the Poker room as things got interesting outside.
In our first interesting hand of the session we make it 20 to go 7 handed from UTG with J
9
. We get only a call from The HJ and see a flop of K
T
6
. Alright, about as close as we can get. We follow up with a cbet of 25, and he calls. On the turn we get a little closer, the 8
. This time we wager 60, and villain once again calls. The river is the one we’re looking for, the 4
. We make it 175, and feel a bit uneasy when we get the snapcall from villain who beats us into the pot. But we are indeed good, and scoop a nice one there.
In our next interesting hand we pick up K
Q
and make it 20 to go from MP1. The BTN, SB, BB all call and we go to another interesting flop of A
Q
2
The blinds check to us, and we decide to check. I can see a case for betting but this seems like a decent spot to check. The BTN checks and we see a J
giving us the royal draw OTT. The blinds check again, and this time we wager 55. The BTN folds, and the SB makes it 150 with 500 behind. The BB folds and we have an easy call here. The river bails is out, the 3
giving us the nuts. In what is even better news, villain leads for 175 into us. We jam in 500 total, and villain goes deep into the tank. After a minute I hear him say”flopped too two” and 20 seconds later he makes the call.
Next up we see two limps, and a raise to 40 from a reg on tilt OTB (down 2k in a 500 cap). We make it 125 to go in the SB with A
K
. He calls and we see a flop of 9
6
2:spade. We bet 100, and he calls. The turn is the 7
and we check. He jams his last 300, and we make the fold, only to have him show us QTo
In our final interesting hand we see a limp from a regfish who plays (loses) a ton. He’s playing 80/10 and he limps like usual from MP. We iso OTB to 30 with A
6
. Only he calls, and we see a flop of A
9
2
. He checks and we check back. The turn is the A
and he checks to us again. We wager 50, and he calls. The river is the 5
and he checks to us again. We wager 200, and he jams for 570 total. We tank/call, and lose to top boat. The issue I have with this hand is that if v was bluffing it would have come in the form of a lead on the river m, and not a c/r, and it’s something I should have known after all the hours we’ve played together.
After the snow had ceded and we made our way home, we were able to book a small profit, but lost back most of this nice little stack.
