01/27/07 - Live Game Win

Played in Donkament. I went in to situation keeping my mouth shut and not letting them know I play. Just sit back and observe and not talk too much.

Lost 1st tourney with KJ sooted vs 9-4??? She called my all-in with 9-4. LOL.

2nd SNG, 9 handed, I won 1st place for $90. I didn't play hand for the first 3 levels. Everyone limping and 6-7 people seeing flops. We started with 700 chips and blinds at 5/10. I fold, fold, fold, fold. Then I decide I'm gonna play a hand in position, so I'm not a nit. Table was starting to make comments about me folding.

So in the cutoff, I get 10-2 sooted thinking Im gonna make a play postflop in position. LOL. I limped and button goes all in for 55 more. There goes my plan. We all call and flop is 10 high with 2 of my suit. Drunk Girl ahead of me goes all in for like 250. I still had about 700. I insta call. Im up against KJ and AK. I turn flush and win pot. Girl who was a poker player kinda aped me and said nice call. I said, what am i gonna do? Lay down top pair and flush draw with 2 to come? She shut her trap.

Then I heat up. Switched gears and got good cards all at same time. Limp fest, I made it 500 to go with AK clubs. They all fold. People getting pissed I'm raising a lot of hands. Very next hand KK. I make same bet. Guy behind calls this time. Flop is rags with 2 clubs. Pot is like 500. I go all in with about 750. He insta calls. I'm like oh shit, he has set. He turns over AK clubs. I was ready to go home, since I lose those flips like 80% of the time. NO CLUB! My hand held and I doubled thru and new chip leader. He was steaming. Everyone starting to realize I know what I'm doing.

Girl at table I know pipes up and asks me how often we play our live game at my house. My cover was blown. I proceed to take out short stacks with ace-rag, QJ sooted, etc when I'm in blind for like 200 and their all-in bets are like 350.

3 handed, I'm huge leader, there are 2 medium stacks left. I get Q-10 in SB and complete. We all see flop which is 10 high. Drunk guy bets out of turn when I'm first to act. I was planning a check raise on these shorties, but after seeing that I wasn't so sure. I saw the Drunk guy earlier in the night, do same thing with AA, so I checked to him and he bets minimum of 200 into 600 pot. Other guy in pot folds and I call. Turn is rag, I check call his min bet. River is rag, and he says "check" out of turn again! Dealer corrects him and says it's my action. What would you do???? Yep, I move all in and he calls with pocket 4's and loses. WOW.

Heads up the guy was brutal. He'd look at cards in BB and make a face like, "wow, I got crap!" Raise!!!! He'd fold. He'd complete SB and I'd raise. He'd fold. He'd 2 bet preflop, I'd call and float him on flop. He'd fold. I got him all in with K-8 clubs vs. J-8 spades. Brilliant.

I liked poker last nite. Odds held how they were supposed to, unlike Online Donkouts. LOL.
