Like a Fat Kid on Cake... Tournament Holdem

I showed up to the usual game a little early to help setup a new computer our host had purchased. I gotta tell you, Vista is a memory hawg and I don't see a good reason to upgrade just yet. Its Microsoft's way of making everyone buy a new computer just so they can run the new OS with its extremely high minimum requirements.



$10.00 Buy-In

The game began and was pretty uneventful for me until I got short. I was in the big blind with blinds at $1 and $2. 3 players limped in ahead of me as I loked down at which was on par with what I had been seeing throughout the game so I checked. The flop brought . I felt like this was my best shot getting some shiped my way so when the small blind checked it I moved in for $12. This was the correct move with $8 in the pot and a scary board. I could win the pot by running the other players out or if I got called I would probably have outs against my opponent's top pair or in this case flush draw. The chances are slim that anyone floped a flush (118 to 1) so I wasn't really woried about that, that would be really unlucky.


The player on my left who never plays a big pot with anyone took about 6 seconds to decide to call me. I don't know if he was just giving up or if he has it out for me, perhaps a little of both. You see, during the games, he gets pushed around a lot, especially when hes heads up in a pot, but the funny thing is that he knows he's getting pushed around and he seems to have a redline or boiling point. Well, this was it for him tonight although he did have the Ace of spades, he has never called anyone down for almost all of his chips without at least an top pair. So I was suprised when he fliped up the As Qd. I commend him for a great call but he didn't make that call based on the correct information.


The turn and river brought no straight card or spade so the ace high won the $32 pot.


-$10.00



$20.00 Buy-In


I had a peasents share of good cards in the second game as well and got short again. I moved in with for a total of $6 with blinds at $2 and $4 I got 3 callers. The flop came . I leaned over to the plaer next to me said good game bc that flop was to perfect for me and as bad as I've been running lately someone is bound to suckout. Checks around. The turn brought a so now i get a nut flush draw along with my top pair, wow to good! Checks around. The river brought an . All the sudden the timid player bets $10. I just thought of my happy place as the other 2 players ran for the hills. He of course rolled over the nut straight KJ.

-$20.00
