Well, I just finished my homegame for the week, and a really really funny hand just came up. .25/.50 NL.
A very new player (one of the three that came tonight) was playing in seat 8, a seasoned player who plays every week in seat 2. We were playing 6 handed, so it's folded to seat 8 who's in the CO and raises it 3xBB Seat 4, the BB, calls. Two to the flop. The flop comes down Th 8h Ts. The BB checks, new player bets .50 and the solid player calls. The turn is an 8c. This time, the new player bets the pot, and with a confused look the solid player calls again. The river is a Jh. The new player bets about half his stack, and is reraised all in by the solid player. He calls in an instant, proudly flipping over his 3h 3d. The entire table started laughing as my buddy flips up Qh 9h for the straight flush.
It took about 5 minutes to explain why his treys didn't play on the board of J T T 8 8.
Oh well, he ended up losing his money and leaving pretty happy. He said he'd be back at least /images/graemlins/smile.gif
