Dynasty Home Game #3 (with Tommy Angelo and majorkong)

[Dynasty]

It appears 2+2 home games at my place are becoming the norm for out of town visitors. Tonight, Clarkmeister, Tommy Angelo, majorkong, and myself played about 5 hours of various pot limit games including hold'em, Omaha high, crazy pineapple, triple high draw, and A-5 lowball. We mixed in a few 3-6 games as well.

After winning in the two previous games, I ended up dropping about $50 (I was down more than twice that at one point). majorkong dropped a full rack. Most of it was in one of the biggest pots when his 77 lost to Tommy's 99 on a 9,x,7,y,9 board in pot limit Omaha high. That was probably the biggest pot of the night. Tommy lost a few dollars as well which means that Clarkmeister cleaned our clocks. He took nearly two racks from us.

I didn't get much to play. But, in general, I was playing very passively and folding a lot on the flop in the pot limit games- even when I hit the flop lightly. Clarkmeister and Tommy definitely bet me off of some good hands with large bets. Unfortunately, they weren't paying off when I was betting so I'll need to refine my approach.

So far, these 2+2ers have been in the Dynasty home games: Clarkmeister (3 times), Tommy Angelo, majorkong, Bob T., Sooga, Duke, D. Andrew, and Riff Raff.

Well save me a spot, I'll be there tomorrow through Sunday.

[Barry]

I'll be out there in 2 weeks and am looking forward to meeting many of you; but play against you? I don't think so. Maybe I can watch.

[Fitz]

I'm with you Barry. There has GOT to be a softer seat some where in Vegas.... lol. Although, it sounds like a fun game, and the rake is about right.

Good luck in Vegas,

If you went to Mike Tyson's home town would you ask him to save you a spot in the ring? /forums/images/icons/grin.gif

I'm jealous. /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

[Duke]

So I had to miss the good one, right? I knew there was a fish in you.

Instead, I dropped 50 bets last night being a total fish. I WISH I were only playing 3-6 at that time.

Dynasty,

It does not look like I'd ever want to be at your game unless I was the dealer and could collect the tips. Find an easier game. Don't play any pot-limit games with Tommy. Make him play limit Omaha.

Good Luck

Mark

I'd rather be jealous than broke. /forums/images/icons/smirk.gif

All kidding aside, playing with a crew like this is a valuable experience (not to mention fun).

me me me!! ill be practically giving my chips away if i drink a beer or two. rather give it to you chumps, i mean friends, than those sharks (and dont forget the babe!) down at the mirage.

just one question: dynasty is there an ATM in your apartment?

[Clarkmeister]

I'm always looking for someone to drink with at these things since Dynasty doesn't touch a drop.

BTW, despite the result, there was little doubt in my mind that if I played Pot Limit long enough against Tommy, he'd eventually take me down. It helps when you make a few hands and catch Tommy when he's overtired.

You've got my number fool, use it when you are in town.

[MHoydilla]

I would be interested in playing the next time you put a game together. If this is possible shoot me message through 2+2.

"overtired"

Is that a euphemism? I played no-limit with Tommy and my son (age 13) at my house and we were both so "overtired" that I only called his big bet after he drew two on the first draw and then stood pat on the second draw (five card draw, double draw) when I had four aces. Of course there were 6 wild cards in the deck.

[Tommy Angelo]

clarkmeister and dynasty, i've learned a lot just from your guys' posts alone. it seems like you guys have infinite poker knowledge, but still seem like young guys.

[Franchise (TTT)]

Man, where else can you have your clock cleaned by these guys for only 3-6?
