Screwed by a Hooker

Posted by wynn on Jul 7, 2010 in Donkeys, Table Talk | 0 comments

I got screwed by a hooker last night. No. It is not what you think. I played bad in a short session. Even though I felted the same player twice with 7-2 (trip 2’s on one hand and trip 7’s on the other), my playable hands quickly became rags on the flop. The entire table thought they would break some casino rule if they did not showdown every hand on...

Case the Joint

“Great read!” says the player in seat 8 to the very lucky lady in seat 7. I folded K-K from seat 9 to the lucky lady who raised pre-flop to a measily $15. From her tells, I knew she had A-A.

Until the flop, that is. My opponent limps in under...

What is better than holding pocket Aces in last position? Getting the original raiser with pocket Kings to fold to my raise AND getting a calling station to call. That is exactly what happened the other night at MotorCity Casino. The first player to act makes it $150 to go. A player that saw every flop at any cost for two hours (he got broke four times and had...

Goldilocks

I see people play pocket Aces wrong everyday. Some overplay them. Some underplay them. All seem to get their bullets cracked. Today, I am going to tell the story of how some are too cold (underplay), too hot (overplay), and just right. I am in a game and someone in middle position min raises. The opponent on his immediate left min raises the min raise. I call...
