Right Place. Right Time

There is something to be said about being in the right place at the right time.

I am at MotorCity Casino at the $50 – $200 game, up about $500 when I spot a short handed $200 – $500 game with a couple weak players.

On this particular night, the casino had to close for about six hours so the City of Detroit could test the generators.

With about 30 minutes of play time left, I seize the opportunity and change games.

Seat 9 is open and find myself in the cutoff position. I post the $5 blind and check my hand.

In a battle of the blinds, the small blind raises to $25. Big blind re-raises to $75.

I call. The small blind calls.

The flop comes 3 – 3 – Q rainbow.

The small blind bets $100. The big blind and I both call.

Turn card is a King. The small blind bets $200. The big blind and I both call again.

The river is a 9. The small blind bets all-in for another $300. The big blind and I both call.

The small blind shows a set of Queens.

The big blind shows a set of Kings.

Me? Well, I flopped quad treys.

Being in the right place at the right time, all I had to do was keep calling.
