Just thought I"d post details of the final hand at last night"s home game. Although not following on in the context of the posts before it, it falls in the "Unlucky Hand" category ...
Let me say now though that it is in no way a bad beat story and that you need to play in this crowd to comprehend how loose the game is. 80% of hands go to the river!
Anyway ...
Blinds are up to £1/£2, it"s 01:25 and we"ve agreed on a 1:30 finish. A frighteningly loose game as always with PO the main fish - he"s flung four £20 notes across the table tonight, has managed to get back up to £50 by rivering a 2 outer in the hand before in this and has drank enough whisky to kill a lesser man!
PO £50ish in chips
ND £35 in chips
ET £35 in chips
PO raises pre-flop to £5. I call as does ET. SB and BB fold (claiming 83o and 92o)
Flop comes
qh qd
PO bets out £5, I call with kc
, ET calls.
Turn is kd
PO bets out £5, I tentatively call with my two pair (scared ET has a Q) , ET calls.
River is
(FULL HOUSE! - AWESOME!)
PO bets £10, I call £10, ET shoves all in, PO calls (no surprise) and I cannot bring myself to fold my last £15. All-In matched!
Amazed at the size of this pot (more than at 3 of the 5 left being All-In on the last hand - nothing new), we agree to show together ...
I turn up my kc
(FULL HOUSE!)
kc kd
ET turns qc
(a bigger FULL HOUSE!!) qh qd qc
PO turns qs kh (a BIGGER FULL HOUSE!!!) qh qd qs kh kd
PO rakes in the £105 pot as everyone just sits with mouths gaping!!!
As I said before, this is not a bad beat story! I realise that there was always a danger ET had a Q. Him having AA or even 22 wasn"t out the question either though! The call on the end was £15 into a pot of £90 - having invested so much already I was never gonna fold it!
GL TO ALL IN WALSALL THIS WEEKEND! Especially xxMairxx , Geo , BigKhuna , Zanshin and all other Edinburgh qualifiers.
