Ok, every week or so I play in a live mixed game (dealers choice) that includes NL holdem, FL stud, and PL omaha. Normally it's a short handed game, and with the same 3-5 guys.

So this one guy Terrence doesn't like me all that much, he's a horrible player and i think i may have offended his manhood or something by actually knowing something about poker.

here's the hand, i have xKJ9x two hearts, 4 limp to the flop, 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] T [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], UTG bets $1, Terrence calls and i raise the pot, UTG folds, and Terrence calls, the turn is a T [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], and Terrence bets the pot.

I call and the river is a blank, Terrence is first to act and bets the pot, which is well over $20. I think about it for quit a while and fold.

Terrence then flips over J9 and says " I had it. "

i was like "what do you mean", and he just repeated that he had it.

Then, during the next hand he says something like, 'i knew you had the straight, that you couldn't call'


When he said that, it affected me so deeply, first off this is a friendlyish game, secondly everyone plays fairly straight forward- value betting, bluffing, semibluffing. This hand just seemed oddly personal, and if he really did what he claims he did, he out played me more than i've ever been outplayed.

But certain things about the hand make me doubt whether he could make the play intentionally. First, he was first to speak so the board pairing Tens should have made him nervous to bet out like he did. The river bet could have been done by anyone since as soon as he finished betting the turn i gave out plenty of tells that let everyone know i hated the board pairing.

Then of course there's when Terrence flipped over the J9 saying he had it. As if to relieve me that he wasn't bluffing.

Omaha is a tuff game shorthanded
