here's a hand

[Tommy Angelo]

Full wee hour $20-40 at LC. There was this one guy in the game. I'd never met him. Very smart man, I soon learned. And funny. Unassuming and probably worth hundreds of millions if any of the VC stuff he was talking about was true. Call him Joe. I folded for forever and I openraised on the button with AQ. The SB folded and Joe reraised from the big blind with 10-2 offsuit. I made it four bets and he called. Flop came A-J-3 rainbow. Joe checked, I bet, and he called. Joe made one pair on the turn and checkcalled. Then he made two pair on the river and he bet out. I called and he won.

A round and a half later, I openraised with KK from the middle. Joe reraised behind me, and everyone folded back to me. I made it four bets, Joe made it five bets, and this went on for a while. Just when I was about to not reraise, at about ten bets each or so, Joe turned over his cards: 7-5 suited. I went ahead and raised again.

Joe said, "This is my favorite hand but I'm going to let you off easy." And he just called.

The flop came 7-7-5. Joe bet $20 with an exposed full house. Then he looked up at me, apologetically, and maybe a little disappointed that all the fun had been used up on this hand already, and he tossed a $100 chip at me and he said "muck your hand." I accepted the chip in good faith and mucked.

"Just when I was about to not reraise, at about ten bets each or so,"

if there's a part to not like about the post i guess that's it.

After just reading about Chris Reeve and Ken Caminiti, a much needed smile or three came to my face reading this one. Thanks, Tommy.

Completely OT, I am ashamed to admit I had to look up what VC stood for. I thought it had something to do with Vietnam.

The games at LC and the games at Foxwoods are so completely different that it is almost like playing two entirely different games.

Wow.

All those bets PF out of position, Tommy? You must have been real tired /images/graemlins/wink.gif

For me, it would be this: "Joe turned over his cards: 7-5 suited. I went ahead and raised again."

I fail to see what's so tragic about Caminiti.

[Stork]

Wow, do not try and mess with Joe. He'll [censored] you in the virtual ass.

[andyfox]

A wasted life and or a life ended early is always tragic. Even when the wounds are self-inflicted.

There you go, paying off again. Why can't you ever find a fold on the river?
