Home Game Summary
I played the home game tonight and took 3rd for $0. There were some interesting situations that I will share. I was playing incredibly loose and aggressive early, losing a decent amount early but picking it up as things progressed. Here are some hands.
Blinds at100/200. All fold to me, I make it 550 from the Hijack with AdKd. The SB (Clark) calls. Flop comes Ks8c5h. Clark check-calls 775. Turn comes the 4h, check, check. River is the Qd, Clark bets 1500, I call and am shown 55 for the flopped set. I'm quite happy with myself for checking the turn. What's with everyone slow-playing sets these days? He could've won a shit-load more if he'd played it faster on the flop.
Blinds at 150/300 (with stacks of about 20K each). UTG makes it 900, I reraise to 1800 with AA, UTG calls. Flop comes KdKhQd (I have the Ad). UTG checks, I get the distinct feeling that I'm being slow-played and check behind. Turn comes the Th, check, check. River comes Kc for a final board of KKQTK, UTG bets 3000. I decide to just call and scoop against UTG's QQ. I'm not sure if I should have raised the river here. UTG looked like he really liked his hand when he bet the river, so calling probably wasn't that bad.
I ended up with the chip lead for a while, but got my hand caught in the cookie jar a couple of times when we were 3-handed to make me the short stack. Then after being ridiculously card-dead and hanging around for about 1.5 hours, I move in with 66 from the button for about 26000 with blinds at 1500/3000. I am called by the SB's KJo and I lose to the K on the turn. I'm not sure why he called -- I thought I was patient enough to deserve a little more respect than that. The SB guy and the other guy end up getting in when they were heads up with KQ vs. KQ where the SB guy made a flush to win it.
I think I played well for the most part, but I probably played too tight when we were short-handed. I just treaded water for about that hour and a half while I was card-dead, not really trying to make any moves and chip up. I had fun though, and that's the most important part. Yea, right.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhaahaha, I almost forgot about the best hand of the night -- when I knocked out Clark with the 3c4c. From the cutoff, I limped behind two other limpers for 500 with the 3c4c. Button folds, Clark limps from the SB, button check his option. The flop is the beautiful 336 rainbow. Clark bets 1000, all fold to me, I make it 4000 after a little but of deliberation, he instantly pushes for something like 8 or 9K more, I instantly call, and he instantly says "oh shit". He has the 56o and misses his boat. This hand was quite satisfying after him beating up on me for he last few times we played heads up.
I love sitting there watching him steam after he loses. It hasn't been happening too much lately because he's been winning, but God damn it's funny.
