20-40 Stud on Party

[Michael Emery]

Before we get to the hand I have to biitch for a minute about how downhill this game has gone from when it was introduced to the party mix a year and a half ago. I played a ten hour session in it last night (I have been so sick of playing hold'em I had to do something else) and I was jipped out of several hundred dollars in disconnects. Still managed to book a nice win, but still, I lost a lot of big bets to the cheap disconnect ploy. Its like it was a staple play in this game. People were doing it and laughing/chatting about how they werent going to pay off but were still going to "see it" through their disconnect. It was absolutely sick. I've sent several emails to party about this happening lately in this game, and they havent done anything. Partys support in matters like this is truly terrible.

Anyway, heres an interesting but brief hand. My opponent is "OSUoverMiami", a player I've had pegged as soild for awhile.
