A very good 2+2er Pooh-Bah and I played in a small home game Friday night. We played (badly with mixed results) in a 3-6 game from 7-11, and then they have a 24 person NL tourney to cap off the night.
First, a highlight from the 3-6 game....
2+2er is a few Sierra Nevada's in when Very Fishy but nice-enough 50-something grandma-slot-machine-in-Reno type overhears someone at the other table drop an F-bomb She says, jokingly, "my virgin ears!"...without a moment's hesitation 2+2er spits out this gem: "Her only virgin orfice"...
nice.
Ok, here's the hand in question.
Structure is top 4 get paid (40/30/20/10), $40 buy in, no rebuys, no limit. Starting stack is t2,000. Blinds start at 25/50 and go up every 12 min.
Kinda fast structure, but not horrible given that were starting at 11 and most have a decent drive home.
I'll try to get these details right. 2+2er and I, despite starting at the same table, have been staying away from each other (gee, wonder why).
I had built a decent stack up to about t7500 w/ blinds of 150/300. There were 11 players left at this point. 2+2er had about 6000 to start the hand.
We were 5 handed.
UTG folds, 2+2er makes it 1100 from the CO, button folds, sb folds, I contemplate in the BB. I have black 55 and about 7500 after posting my blind. It's 800 more to call.
Here's the problem. I know that he is probably applying the gap concept here. But he knows that I know that. He knows that I'm liable to liberally defend my blind 5 handed. (by defend, I mean push back) He especially knows that I would be more inclined to put him to a decision for all his chips moreso than someone else in this spot.
I was confused as to what to do, so I called.
Flop brought A K 7 with two spades.
I checked, and he thought and checked behind.
Turn was an offsuit 9 and I pushed.

He layed down like Paris Hilton on prom night.
