From the button i call a standard raise and Ivey comes along also from the BB.
Flop comes KcQc9s, and initial raiser checks from early position and so do i.
Ivey bets out Pot which was prolly like 6$ at this point, making it a total of 12$
EP dude folds and i pop Ivey for my remaining 18$.
Ivey tanks then folds.
I show my 44 and he types "Nice Play"
I can die happy.
It's kinda sad when that's the highlight of ur poker career, but maybe that's a small reason why i can totally identify with the OP here.
The Legend of Ivey lives on...
FWIW, this was usually his wife or other family member playing. I guess that all stopped when the notion of you playing against somebody other than who was behind the red name became much more of a big deal.
