late night 6 handed commerce 100-200, what a great game. 1 or 2 decent players but everyone is too loose and too aggressive, wait check that, WAY too loose and WAY too aggressive. this includes some really freaky looking postflop plays. got that? nevertheless this hand troubled me.
i have J9s on the button and im small blind on the button because someone busted out in their blind. so there are two small blinds (me being one of them) and one big blind. utg who is a recent wsop TV star from what i understand raises, next two guys who are fishy weird call two cold, i call, sb calls, bb calls. 6 of us.
the flop is J63 rainbow. sb bets, he is one of the more reasonable players but super aggro as well. bb calls, utg raises, one guy folds, a fish calls two cold, i call two cold, sb calls, bb calls. 5 of us to the turn.
the turn is 8 it's a rainbow board. checked to utg who bets, next guy calls, i call, sb calls, bb calls. only 5 of us now.
the river is 2. sb checks, and now bb fires out. utg agonizes and folds, next guy folds, i call, and sb overcalls. as sb calls i feel really sick to my stomach.
did i swallow my vomit or just let it spew all over the commerce floor?
(this was a must move game into a similarly juicy main game. the main game featured the good lord of limit hold em, lenny martin, no floaters, a really fishy overweight russian woman who's been playing like 120 hours a week in the game, a really fishy weak player who's lounge lizzrd deluxe who ive commented on before, some random loose aggressive asian men and women who keep forgetting we're not playing pai gow and who jump up all the time to ask friends at the stud table about exchange rates on some korean money orders they happen to have on them and need to cash, you know just your typical really tough really tight high limit hold game lmao. i didnt pay much attention to lenny martin's play but i did notice he seemed to be playing an awful lot more hands then i wouldve expected and at one point he was nearly down to the felt, only to be up about $10k about an hour later. interesting.
let's see what else. oh, i got there at around 11pm and as soon as i sat down i had AKo and reraised and was jammed out on the turn and lost a lot on that hand, on the next hand i had KQs and flopped a flush draw and lost a couple more stacks on that when i missed, then i had 99 and raised, 5 people saw the flop of Js6d4d. i bet and was called in two places by 55 on the button and, get this, Tc9c in the sb. play GOOOOOT! of course the running straight came and my river value bet was met w/ a raise and a reraise. Tc9c. yeah so in short everyone avoid the commerce 1-2 cause it's fiercely tough.)
