Yesterday's $1000 buy-in no-limit game at Lucky Chances. ($10-10-20 blind, $40 to open). I came well-funded, ready to anchor in. The first 2K went poof when three guys made an arrangement to go $500 before the flop each, in the dark, if everyone else was out. Just one problem. They weren't in a row. Two of them were on my left, and one on my right. I had the button, the two on my left had blinds, and the guy on the right bet $500 in the blind after the in between players folded. I had been watching closely and there was no doubt that he had not looked at his cards. I looked at mine, and saw AJ suited. I shoved in $2000 allin. Fold, fold, and the $500 guy called with K5o and won.
I rebought 2K and folded another twelve thousands hands and was down to $1600 when I got pocket queens. Two super-live players limped in for $40 and the next guy made it $240. I was next. My stack size wasn't big enough to call. I should have folded, but I opted for allin. The limpers folded, and the $240 guy called and showed pocket kings. I showed my queens.
The flop came: K-6-2 with two diamonds. Oh, I have the queen of diamonds. Goody. Oh, he has the king of diamonds. Dang.
Turn: Q.
River, no jive, the case Q.
The longest postflop odds in hold'em broke my way to the tune of 3K+. The best part was, the other guy didn't even get slightly upset, and I didn't get even slightly glad. We just moved on to the next hand. Maybe we've played a little too much hold'em.
