My No-Limit Poker history is not as flashy and actually quite brief.
[color=green:2b35ef66bf][i:2b35ef66bf](Figured any form of entertainment to bide the idle time in this draft would be welcome)[/i:2b35ef66bf][/color:2b35ef66bf] :wink:
....well, it went like this:
Couple years ago a fellow Strat man - Mr. "casmith528" got together a group of 50 guys (1 gal too) for a elimination tourney in the back of his clothing store (in NJ) on a Saturday night.
$125 buy-in, 8 tables to start, $100 worth of chips was given to each person - the balance of the money went for FOOD + Table Rental + NEW Poker Chips + Cards + Beer of course :wink:
Every 2 hrs we would consolodate the tables till we were down to only 1.....Started at 6PM - ended 3 AM....not bad right ?
Ok so this is how my night went:
[b:2b35ef66bf]First Hand:[/b:2b35ef66bf] Sitting in the first spot next to the dealer on the 1st hand. Put in my blind and look at my cards. Garbage. 2 & 5. Mistake # 1, I throw them in and fold.....little did I know that being the first guy in the bidding line that I had already paid for the first flop. Flop comes, and of course it's a 3,4,6 :shock:
[b:2b35ef66bf]Second Hand:[/b:2b35ef66bf] Now I'm the dealer 8) Someone helps me shuffle the cards :oops: and here we go. Look at my cards - POCKET KINGS ! :shock:
OH BABY ! Time for redemption !
Player 1 folds
Player 2 rasises
Player 3 (brad0007 from the boards) Sees the raise and doubles that ! :)
Player 4 folds
Player 5 calls
Player 6 folds
I call
...back to Player 2 - he re-raises - again DOUBLE ! :shock:
Player 3 (brad0007) says - "ALL IN" :shock: :shock: :shock:
Player 5 folds
I look at my cards - see the Pocket Kings and think to myself "Hell, if I win this hand then I'm golden for night. Fk it, I'm all in !"
Player 2 (the guy who started all the rasing) - says "Oh yea, I'm all in and flops down his POCKET ACES !!!!" :shock: :evil: :shock: :evil:
FK !
....still, I have shot on the flop right ?
NO !
Player 3 (brad0007) flops down HIS OWN POCKET KINGS !!! :shock: :shock: :shock:
Brad007 and I have all the Kings ! Ain't no King left to be in the middle.
Only shot was a flush ....... and the flop came.......sigh......
Hand over
