($1-2 PLO8 had pokerkat been around and knew about the game going--but no one posted it on twitter--its the kind of game hed wanted to play.<br /><br />i sat with $285 and left hours later with $905, getting me back quite a bit of that days loss. i stayed til the game broke and i sure wish that game went a lot more often. <br /><br />i felt alysia was playing awfully tight, she was hardly ever in a pot. now i finally understood why she picked a different table, i never knew. the guy in seat 10 at her table looked familiar but isnt someone i know. it was the guy in seat 1 who wondered if i knew her. she is the one who brought up the subjext of my tooth and the phone, not me. first thing was did u get ur tooth fixed and whats the situation with ur phoneTony Bigcharleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14505857211799064393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-57927280879821928492014-10-05T07:22:52.895-07:002014-10-05T07:22:52.895-07:00So you bet the evil hand and got called by someone...So you bet the evil hand and got called by someone who lucked their way into a rivered boat that they didn't even see - be CAREFUL... Also, you talk about the luckbox lady (ladies) you sit with (the 8 6), but the hand that got you out of the gate fast was the K3 where you turned a 3-outer against KQ. I understand why you saw the flop, but that might be considered a little lucky too, especially from KQ's perspective... On your kings, I think that you have to ask yourself what he's continuing to bet into you with, and decide if you believe him (you said he was aggro, which definitely clouds things up). As I read Alysia's comments, I thought the SAME THING!

I love it!<br /><br />Sounds to me like the pot was much too big for you to have folded there for one bet. Especially since you read Tony's blog and could assume that he might be bluffing.<br /><br />I do kind of feel sorry for the guy and his spaghetti, tho.<br /><br />And also.....do you have a degree in dentistry?

I chop a couple of pots, I lose some pots and notice that TBC plays a pretty tight game, almost all premium low cards and I stay out of his way. <br /><br />Then THE hand that has me scratching my head comes up. I have something like 45KQ double suited on the button and it's limped around in a half kill pot (effectively $6/12 instead of $4/8). Killer who acts last preflop raises, everyone before me calls, including TBC. Flop comes with two low cards and a facecard (I have two pair). It's checked to the raiser who bets, gets called by TBC, another guy and myself. I'm putting the bettor on the come for a low draw. Turn is another facecard that gives me a flush draw in addition to my two pair so bettor bets, TBC and I call. River is a third facecard that gives me two top pair (Kings and Queens). It gets checked to me and I bet.<br /><br />Now here is the weird part. Tony KNOWS it's a kill pot. He's been putting in the correct amount the entire time. $6 on the flop, $12 on the turn. Suddenly he blurts out "sixteen" and starts to put 16 chips into the pot. I'm confused and so is the table. The dealer tells him it's just a call because the raise is to $24. He starts to count out $24 but the dealer stops him and calls for a floorman. The floorman asks if he raised and the dealer explains that he said "sixteen" and not "raise". Floor decides to rule it just a call and Tony looks agitated saying that there's no way he can win if he couldn't raise. He tosses in his cards upturned towards the muck and dealer says "ace high". I turn over my two pair and collect the pot. Tony then tries to explain his reasoning for his bluff. Apparently he thinks I'm capable of level 2 thinking.<br /><br />He felt that his check raise would cause me to think that he had a straight and that I would fold. And he kept saying that it would be a good play if it worked and he was allowed to raise. Even as I cashed out to grab some food and get ready for my concert, he wanted confirmation that it was a good play. He wanted me to join the PLO8 game and I had to decline due to time constraints.Onechiquita100https://www.blogger.com/profile/06610836567151699503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8283462864090963789.post-36899866360240444122014-10-05T00:50:55.557-07:002014-10-05T00:50:55.557-07:00Thank you for explaining. I was unaware that the ...Thank you for explaining. I was unaware that the gender of the individual with the breasts was an important detail. Thank you for clearing that up.<br /><br />Okay my take on the whole dang thing? He mentioned it in the comments section of his blog briefly. I had a monster night/morning after a Blood Bowl league thing over at Orleans on Friday (like MONSTER) in the $8/16 Omaha 8/B game and did not feel like dealing with maniacs in the V $8/16 Omaha game. I actually WANTED to play with nits so I sat in the $4/8 Omaha h/l game where I think the average age was 80. I recognized TBC in the 8/16 game but figured he was probably dead- I also recognized some raise happy people in that game. Too much variance for me.<br /><br />So I sit down and play a bit. I decide that I really have a strong dislike for the guy in seat 10 (I'm in seat 9) who proceeds to tell me how I'm so lucky I raised him out because he would have beat me nearly every hand that I win a pot in. I have a few hands where I miss my draws or my A3 is trampled by A2 or my low is counterfeited so I'm down a bit but holding steady. I mean it's LIMIT, you know? <br /><br />So TBC comes over, looks over at the names on the table roster and proceeds to chat with me. He's between myself and Seat 10 and I notice there is a tiny bit of spittle that goes into Seat 10's food as TBC is talking. This for some odd reason makes me smile inside. I've been trying to set Seat 10 up for some tilting and he's easily irritated so TBC's presence is most welcome.<br /><br />TBC tries to show me his teeth and asks me if I think it's bad. I tell him that he definitely needs to get x-rays so he can figure out the condition of his roots because I can't tell. Then he talks about Vince and his phone and how he did at video blackjack. All the while this is going on, I have my eye on Seat 10 who shifts in his seat uncomfortably because TBC is like 6 inches away from him, hovering over his plate of spaghetti, adding his own unique flavor to the pasta. I then notice Seat 2 is empty and suggest the TBC take it. TBC takes the seat and I proceed to apologize to Seat 10 for chatting with TBC so close to him. Am I sincere? Do I sound believable? I don't know. He does however have steam coming out of his ears and tells me that he would have asked TBC to leave if we continued to chat.
