Default When your life alters...

There i was on my 10-20 at mucks, getting my ass kicked by the 5 seat who has my number on every hand im in with him. Im actually paying him off a little too much, but that's beside the point. I decide im playing well enough and rebuy after blowing 25BBs.

I raise 3 limpers from the CO, blinds call as do all the limpers. SB is my nemesis mentioned above.

Flop Jh Th 3c

Checked to me, i bet, get 3 callers.

Turn 5h

checked to me, i bet, get 1 caller, the sb.

River Qh

Sb bets out, i raise, sb thinks a bit, then 3 bets. I look at the board again, then cap saying, "I hope you have the 89h."

He does, the table goes wild upon realization that they just got 10K richer. I was really just glad to finally beat the guy in a pot of decent size. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

We didn't just hit the Bad beat JP, we also hit the last Super JP they will offer. That JP was worth about 260K, for which i got 1/2, along with my take from the normal badbeat JP.

Needless to say, i now have an instant bankroll. No more grinding to build one. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] I will revel in telling my supervisor to go FK himself on monday. The job sucks and i was about a month or 2 at most from leaving anyways. I don't need his reference either since i already locked fantastic client references well in advance. Not that i'd have counted on a good reference from him anyways. The prick.

Anyways, just thought i'd share a great beat story with ya.

Good for you. Does mucks have any games bigger than 10-20 that you're going to hit now?

I'm sure I'm just missing a joke, but bernie's spelling was correct.
