Not a lot of real content. Just something I wanted to share.
8 players, $40 buy-in, start at t1000.
I continued my long standing tradition at this game by starting off as the BB. It's become a joke amongst everyone. I always draw that seat.
Anyway, this guy we'll call J was new to the game. J wasn't bad necessarily (by this home game standard), but he is far worse than he believes himself to be. He mini-raised preflop constantly. Often bluffed at pots, only to show his 72o (did this to me when I was in the BB) and cackle about his brilliance. He did, however, trap a couple of players who were convinced he was always full of it, and built a nice early chip lead.
I was playing my usual tight game, and had only won one hand with pocket A's when this one came up:
Blinds 20/40, all 8 still remain. Relevant stacks as follows:
Hero BB (t900) J/images/graemlins/club.gif T/images/graemlins/club.gif
UTG+1 (t600)
MP1 (Villain) (t2000)
UTG+1 limps
Villain raises to 80
All fold to Hero who calls 40
UTG+1 calls 40
Flop: 9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif 8/images/graemlins/club.gif 2/images/graemlins/club.gif
Hero checks
UTG+1 checks
Villain bets 40
Hero calls 40
UTG+1 folds
Turn: 3:hearts:
Hero checks
Villain bets 40
Hero calls 40
River: Q:clubs:
Hero bets 300
Villain calls 300
He turns over A9o and proceeds to go nuts. Can't believe I called his A with JTs! Can't believe I called his flop and turn bets! Yada yada. Up until this point, I looked at J as colorful. Now I thought he was a jerk.
This brings us to hand 2:
Blinds 50/100, 5 players remain
Hero BB (t2000) 7/images/graemlins/heart.gif 7/images/graemlins/diamond.gif
SB (t1000)
Villain--J again, CO (t1500)
Villain raises to 200
Button folds
SB calls 150
Hero calls 100
Flop 7/images/graemlins/spade.gif 7/images/graemlins/club.gif T/images/graemlins/heart.gif

Villain bets 200
SB folds
Hero calls 200
River: K/images/graemlins/club.gif
Hero moves all-in
Villain immediatly calls and starts whooping it up. "I've got the nuts! I've got the nuts!" Throws his cards out onto the table.

Anyone want to guess what the poor moron had?
BTW, this is the most satisfying live bust out I've ever laid on someone.
