My adventures in No-Limit
Playing 1/2 donk-limit last night with your standard assortment of 'tards and monkeys while waiting for a seat to open in my normal game. The second guessing and pokerspeak is excruciating. "I should have bet $100. You'd fold for $100." "You guys keep raising to $15 with your big cards. If I catch with my small cards I'll bust ya."
Some guy to me, "You know, you can play a hand."
Me, "I know." <fold>
Anyway, 6 or so hands in, the dealer is shuffling and I'm UTG. I think, what would I do with Aces here? The last 6 hands have been raised to at least 8 times the BB by one of the 4 players to my right, all raising limpers. Every hand has gotten to the flop. I think it's a good spot to limp/reraise. Cards are pitched. I squeeze red AA. I limp. The whole table limps behind me. Damn. Flop is 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 9 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 7 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Check, check, I check, check, check, bet pot, raise pot, folds to me and I fold.
Good times.
