C'mon!

I spend a lot of time in my hotel casino's (Curcaco) Hold 'Em table and I get stuck playing with the locals. Now 90% of these locals can't play the game. Most, if not all, will play about 95% of all the cards given to them and will raise hands like K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 2 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. But hey, this can be a good thing to. Anyway, just recently I got beat by a local with such a poor hand I could cry. Now the actual suits may not be exact but work with me. I'm new.

Curcaco Hold 'Em 2/4 table (live)

Hero is the small blind with A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
UTG bets, MP1 calls, MP2 calls, MP3 calls, CO calls, Button calls, SB raises, BB 3-bets, MP2 caps, everyone calls.

Flop: A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 3 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
SB (hero) bets, BB raises, UTG folds, MP1 3-bets, MP2 caps, MP3 folds, CO folds, Button calls, everyone calls.

What a glorious flop! I'm thinking I got this in the bag. The BB is as happy as I am. I figure him for A J as well or A Q, A K. I was wondering what everyone else was holding. Maybe looking for a straight draw? We'll see.

Turn: 3 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]
SB (hero) bets, BB raises, MP1 folds, MP2 folds, Button calls.

Two 3s. Just great...

River: 7 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
SB (hero) bets, BB raises, Button 3-bets, SB(hero) calls, BB calls.

I know I am beat by a 3. SoB! As I'm thinking this the Button shows his cards to me, 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img], with a smirk as if he were the God of Hold 'Em. I hate him.


Heres the results.

SB (hero) : A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]
BB: A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
Button: 3 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]

I just couldn't believe that someone was willing to pay the cap on the (pre-flop) flop with a pair of 3s when an Ace and a Jack are present! Talk about luck on the turn!

We've all had bad beats. Be glad you're playing with this guy; in the long run you'll take his shirt. Don't sweat it.

Then there was this time my...

AA got cracked by Q6o.
Set of Js cracked by A2.
KK by A5.
AK two pair by QT.

etc. etc. etc.

That's the funny part. I don't think these guys have any idea how BAD they really are. I had a guy playing 27s hit a runner-runner flush to beat my flopped straight in a kill pot. The guy thought poker was 99% luck.

Reminds me of the hand on the cover of HEPFAP. Sorry about the bad beat. Keep playing him, go find him, invite him out to play with you...

Totally off-topic -- I think digdeep has the best avatar on this site. (But I have to say, mine's pretty friggin' cool).

I'm telling ya, come on down! You guys would rake in the money. I'm still just a newbi at the game and am still learning.

Thanks joker, I appreciate that.

I don't know why you were suprised, after all...
