Hero brag and self-immolation diss:
1-2 NL: Have lost every hand I've played all night including stacked by 9-9 with J-10 suited on J-10-4 first hand I played. I'm on the button with 6-6, cut off raises to 20, I call, heads-up. Flop 10-6-2 rainbow. He bet $6. Clue 1. I make it $26. Call. Turn K. He checks, I bet $60, He shoves 400 in, I have about the same. Way over-raise. It's not aces, it's not A-K, and he's not risking his stack on a bluff. He absolutely loved his hand and was under no duress calling the raise on flop or over shoving turn. I already kind of suspected trip tens on the 6$ flop bet. I fold the hand on the 95% chance he has trip 10s or Kings. In retrospect, some small chance he had trip deuces. But everything in the aftermath said I was right, including comment he made after I left (a friend told me)
2-5 PLO: I have K-J-10-9, clubs to the J. Make it 25. Three calls. Flop K-10-5, backdoor clubs. I bet 50. One call. Turn Qc. I make second nut straight picking up flush draw. Head's up now, villain (actual hero) checks again. I bet 225. Call. OKay, no nut straight. River 8c. He shoves a stack of blacks to cover pot and me (I had about 500 left at that point). I rarely talk on a hand but I said something. He said the perfect thing to make me fold. I've always had this thing where I could soul read bad players if they talk, but good players I catch the other end of that phenomenon. I just disgustedly fold. He shows 4 unrelated cards to the flop. Was playing for steal the whole time. He might have had a back door flush draw, I'm not sure. Probably yes, he did have a red ace suited. And he's just thinking the whole time, "I'm going to take it from him." And he did ... me with top two, straight, and medium flush in 4-card. Not easy. Not a fold. Gotta pay it but he said the perfect thing in my backwards read of good players, which I already know about myself, but short-circuited.
