Here Fishy, Fish, Fishy!!

Monday, April 30, 2007

By: Acevader

It all started with this hand. Fish boy had been sat at the table for a bit and I had already made a big laydown to him (definately -EV but I didn't know that at the time). My shove was to pick up the dead money as I knew he'd call a pot-sized raise with any two and felt all manner of hands. JJ is vulnerable so I pushed to protect.

Full Tilt Poker - No Limit Hold'em Cash Game - $1/$2 Blinds - 6 Players - (http://www.legopoker.com/hh/)

SB: $104.95
BB: $316.25
UTG: $207.25
Hero (MP): $462.50
CO: $18.30
BTN: $187.20

Preflop: Hero is dealt Jc Jd (6 Players)
UTG folds, Hero raises to $8,
CO raises all-in to $18.30,
BTN calls $18.30, 2 folds,
Hero raises all-in to $462.50,
BTN calls all-in for $168.90

Uncalled bet of $275.30 returned to Hero
Uncalled bet of $0 returned to BTN

Flop: ($395.70) 6d 5s Ac (3 Players - 3 All-In)

Turn: ($395.70) Ad (3 Players - 3 All-In)

River: ($395.70) Kh (3 Players - 3 All-In) Pot Size: $395.70 ($3 Rake)

BTN had Jh Ah (three of a kind, Aces) and WON (+$205.50)
CO had 2d 2s (two pair, Aces and Twos) and LOST (-$18.30)
Hero had Jc Jd (two pair, Aces and Jacks) and LOST (-$187.20)

A simply mind-bogglingly disgusting call preflop. He's beating nothing and trailing everything by varying degrees!

I watched this guy run some absolutely crazy bluffs including getting stacked when he re-raised all in vs a preflop raiser on a flop of K,K,Jr holding 97o!!!! His opponent held AK and couldn't hit call fast enough!

Then came my revenge hand - I particularly like the way I don't give him the opportunity to hang himself. I don't need to, I just stuff money down his throat and he'll make moron calls:

We should give the guy some credit. He had an out, he was drawing to a royal flush - lol.

Near 3 buy in's made tonight. Happy of course but a long road to walk yet to get back to a happy place.
