So I'm playing a few thousand hands at The Deuce ($0.01/$0.02 no limit) when I figure it's time to bump it up to The Cinco for a little while. Experimenting a bit with a few microlimit strategy ideas from my book--like my 77 checkraise strat on overcard flops--when I discover that I'm not at 5NL at all, but 50NL, surrounded by high-stakes pros.
And as we know, the only way to beat a 50NL poker pro is to use the facepunching strat.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (8 handed) Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: FlopTurnRiver)
Button ($14.25)
SB ($49.25)
BB ($53.25)
Hero ($49)
UTG+1 ($63.10)
MP1 ($79.10)
MP2 ($24.70)
CO ($50)
Preflop: Hero is UTG with 7
, 7
.
Hero calls $0.50, 2 folds, MP2 calls $0.50, 2 folds, SB raises to $1.5, 1 fold, Hero calls $1, MP2 calls $1.
Flop: ($5) J
, 3, 4 (3 players)
SB bets $2.5, Hero raises to $9, MP2 folds, SB calls $6.5.
Holy shiite Muslim. Did I just raise to nine dollars? That's 9% of my bankroll.
Turn: ($24) 4
(2 players)
SB checks, Hero bets $16, SB raises $22.75 to $38.75,
Here I vigorously punch myself 6 times in the temple. If I am conscious afterwards, my seven will come.
I wake up on the floor with only 7 seconds left on my timer. I lurch to my keyboard, hit call, and without looking at the results I start running around the house highfiving my pets.
Hero calls $22.50.
River: ($101.25) 7
Final Pot: (101.25)
Quick question. What did villain have? Answer: A A. Frootloop didn't even know that the two red aces are a losing combo. Classic error. Lesson learned, friendo.
After that hand I'm thinking of bumping up the price of my book another $100.
And as we know, the only way to beat a 50NL poker pro is to use the facepunching strat.
