Default Re: Trip Report: JV goes to LA

I'll post my favorite hand of the trip. 40/80. Four limpers, I knuckle in the BB w/ the monster 5h-2h. Flop comes Jc-3d-4h. So I'm all over it. I check the this UTG lady who bets. Two callers.

Now this I c/raised. Here is my trick. This is how you get the free card out of position. When you check-raise. You do it very visibly and obnoxiously. So, I stood up reached to the middle of the table and yelled "Raaiiiiiissssssssseeee it up!." Everyone called. Turn was a 9c. I looked suspiciously over at the lady and said Check it Yououououooooouuuuu in the most mysterious voice I had. The whole key here is how you roll the ouoouououououou. The goal is to make it so obvious that you are up to something, that they are embarrased to be double c/raised. It may be obvious that I have crap, but you embarrass them into checking. Anyway, she snorted and checked. As did everyone else. And I laughed out loud. I couldn't help it. River was shite and I check-folded.

She said, "you need two pair to c/r there, what are you doing?"


As for the aggressive girls, one girl came up to me and asked me if I was single and put her arms around my waist. Of course she was using me as a crutch to stand cuz she was so drunk, but still. Another girl grabbed my ass, and three airline stewardesses asked us if we wanted to come back and watch porn with them at their hotel room. It was quite nice. And it's not like I'm the Brad Pitt of poker or anything close. In fact, I'm closer to the Randy Johnson of baseball or the Sam Cassell of basketball.
