Caught off guard by my opponents turbo call i'm frozen for a moment until I regain composure.
"you got a boat?" he asks.
"better." i say. With a wide smile i lift my cards up from the table and bring them to my lips. I give them an audible kiss before i power slam them onto the felt.
Standing over the now tabled A
Q
I begin to take my checks back and rebuild the stacks before he can muck his rags. Suddenly the boggart villain breaths a sigh of relief and innocently says, "oh, i have a straight."
As the words leave his mouth and travel through space, they hit me like a shovel straight to the dome piece. "what." i say, in disbelief.
Exposing his hand he repeats, "straight" as he throws his cards face up.
Jumping up from my seat to I see the K
Q
lying in the middle of the table.
"what the phuck is your problem man?" i bellow out. "did you really call my trey-bet with KQ? do you have any idea how bad that is?" i say. Looking at him with disgust I feel my face burning red. The tension in the room is at its peak as everyone waits to see what I'll do next. in the blink of an eye my iphone is in the palm of my hand and i cry across the table, "scott i want another buy in, this time....five hundred"
letting out a scoff of disbelief he replies back, "no way dude i'm not loaning you that type of cake." completing my end of the transaction i forcibly slide the phone across the table and it goes barreling through his neatly constructed cheque stack. "i'm on the 'rents account bro, got the 500 ready to be wired, just type in your information."
looking up at me for a moment he says, "i want juice."
"phuck ur juice bro" i snap back at him.
Moments later I'm redeemed with a fresh stack of cheques towering higher than ever before. I now own close to 75% of the money in play, it's only a matter of time now before these boggarts ship me their cheese and beg for mercy. Deciding to disrupt their game flow I make the new standard raise a little more pricey, $5 straight all day. The next few orbits I open close to 50% of my hands and take it down pre flop. Then it happens.
Sitting UTG with my stack at $502.75 i peek down at the K
. Before the next card is even dealt I snap bet $5 clean. The table looks up slightly confused and the dealer asks, "is that a straddle?"
"...you tell me.." i slyly reply back.
shooting me an annoyed and quizzical look he says, "did you look at your card yet, or no?"
"i seen it" i say.
"okay it's a live bet" he says, as he continues dealing the hand.
Not bothering to look at my second card I wait to see what each player does individually, as to collect reads on each of them. It's quickly folded around to MP when there's a call, and 3 more by the hi jack, button, and BB. Before the flop comes I slowly squeeze out the second card and see the 2
.
Leaning forward in anticipation I see a beautiful K
2
9
flop peel off. Before the BB can check I'm already cutting out some stacks to beef up the pot. Methodically sliding in a stack I declare, "fitty" and slide my oakleys back on. Giving the board a blank stare I stay frozen until the action is back on me. It's quickly folded around to the button when he hastily declares, "all in!".
Jumping out of my chair I point at his stack and squawk at the dealer, "COUNT IT!"
Becoming antsy and not awaiting the exact count, I see it's around $130 and fist pump call.
