1/2nl have some very gd players and some very bad players!
TODAY: I saw one of the worse plays in 1/2nl this year, and fortunately I was the beneficiary.
Seat 6: $1200 stack, Asian Middle middle aged lady, recreational player, a bit of gamble.
Seat 7: $200 stack, solid abc player.
The 1/2nl table w deep stacks has been playing through the night, and line up is great. I was up about $400 until I lost $350 aiof w my AA < pair/flush draw.
After losing that hand I decided to add 3 more blacks to my stack. Then the next orbit rolls around and this magical hand comes up...
At this point I have a $800 stack and the Asian lady (who covers) in seat 6 hands me over a gift.
Here it is....Seat 7 raises to $12 in mp, a couple callers before I call w 44 in the cutoff. Seat 5 and 6 both limp/calls.
6 players to flop. Pot is $70.
Flop is 4h4s5h. Yes I flopped quads.
*I haven't had quads in a year and had them twice in the last week! What!
Checked to the original preflop raiser in seat 7 who bets $15, folded to me and smooth called, Asian lady also calls.
3 players to the turn. Pot $115ish.
Turn is 9h.
Asian Lady in seat 6 checks, seat 7 checks, and I bet $30. Asian lady calls, seat 7 folds.
Heads up to the river. Pot is $175ish
River is 6c
This is where Christmas came in July for me.
Asian lady bets $50, and I take my time pondering on a bet size. I used her image in my favor and decided to bet big hoping she pays me off. I raise to $380. She insta shoves all in W A STRAIGHT (78)!!!!
NOT A FLUSH! NOT A FULL HOUSE! BUT A STRAIGHT!!! She doesn't call river raise, SHE RERAISES W A STRAIGHT!!!
What!!! What!!!
And yes she calls on a paired board w her gutter draw on the flop and the turn!
