So, I have this rule where I don't play poker in a casino if I'm drunk. I have casino trips where I get hammered and play roulette/BJ/craps/whatever, but I will never let myself play poker when I'm very drunk because I don't wanna be that guy.

The closest casino to me is 2 hours away so when I go I usually have to be sober anyways so I can drive home. I was visiting a buddy in Baltimore with absolutely no intentions of going to the horseshoe, but as fate would have it, I got really drunk at the bars, lost all my friends, and walked 3 miles to the Horseshoe by myself.

I sat down at a 1/3 table so drunk that I was squinting one of my eyes to be able to see my cards. The dude across from me probably thought I was winking at him. I sat down with $120 in front of me, and on the second hand, I went all in. I have no clue what I had and I have no clue what villain had but I just remember everyone looking at me in disgust as the dealer shipped a $260 pot my way.

I folded a few more hands I think, and then, on my 8th hand of the night, when I had the SB, I picked up AK offsuit. Something about being that drunk, AKo literally felt like quad aces to me. A dude UTG raised to 12, got 2 callers, and the btn raised to 30. I looked down at my quad aces, looked back up and quickly announced all in. I got three callers, and the pot was 950 dollars.

I remember saying "let's flip em, boys" and rolling over my AK confidently. No one else flipped their cards. Flop comes 35J rainbow. No worries, turn is a K. River is an Ace. Everyone again looks disgusted and mucks. BTN raiser flips over his AJ suited and says "what a ****ing joke". I now have 8x my original buy-in. I pretend to take a phone call about my dog running away and leave the table. As I'm walking away I hear people calling me a piece of ****.

That was my most successful 1/2 session ever. I literally don't remember half of it. I work decently hard to improve my game and have sessions where I feel like I played well where I breakeven and lose money, and then I have a session where I blindly stumble into a 1/2 game and leave up 800 dollars in 15 minutes. Have I found the secret to poker?

yes

yes

yes

This is the INTERNET POLICE OP. We know you have discovered the secret. WE ARE COMING FOR YOU.

That is ffing hilarious!

ok

Yes: get so drunk that multiple opponents think you don't know what you're doing and will call your all-ins, but no so drunk that you're going all in with less than AK.

Quad aces PF is the secret.

Hey that guy's a drunk fish, I think we should all call him w/ ATC and quadruple him up possibly. Hmm, that didn't work for some strange reason, now we all should be randomly angry at the guy.

I once played at a 1/2 table with a guy who was going all-in blind every hand. I think even then I'd want something better than AJ as the third caller. Maybe not, though. It's a spot that doesn't come up a lot.

So, the guy said it was a joke after he called a 120BB AI, with 2 callers preflop with AJs?

Love it!

"felt like quad aces" lol...fn awesome

Drunken poker sesh,

rat takes cheese back to his hole,

people dislike rats.

Reminds me of when a guy at 1/2 thought I was raising too often and playing like a maniac, so he called my raise with T2o. Like it makes no sense at all. Even if I'm raising ATC, my average hand is going to be Q7o which crushes him.

no

Was it 1/2 like the title suggests, or 1/3 as the OP suggests?

Doesn't matter; didn't happen.

Good strategy confirmed.

start playing more when drunk

Next time play 9 hands.
