How about some plain vanilla 4/8 from yesterday? I don't have nicknames for many of my opponents, but this time on my left is the Old Turtle, a nice Asian gentleman who never sticks his neck out. PF raise = KK+! The Laker game is on TV and I've gone Ice Age cold card dead. I think I am the only guy the Old Turtle has met who folded PF more often than he did. Finally he asks me: "When are you going to play a hand?" Considering the source, the question was very funny. I told him the truth, I said: "Sir, my last hand was 23o. What was I supposed to do, RAISE?" And the I lied I said: "In fact, I've had 23o FIVE TIMES since I sat down here." The truth was it was only FOUR times.
Next hand = 62o. I flash my deuce and fold. Some laughter. Next hand J2o. I flash the deuce and fold. Next hand, 32o I show both and fold. Table is really laughing now and I say: "Sir, my 94 year old mother would BEAT ME for being a stupid child if I played those cards and she would be right, wouldn't she?" My mother is 94, but she wouldn't beat me. Table is having an honest good time over this.
I wind up winning two plus racks when my cards come in. 57o out of the small blind sets up a hard to spot str8 for a big c/r on a big pot. Then I play Q2s because no one believes I would possibly play a deuce and the flop is 22Q! Board flushes up and I again get to c/r a big pot on the river for extra $ because they all know that I don't play deuces! An honest good time @ Commerce; no sex or violence.
