you
7:30 p.m. on a Sunday where the hell are we going I am at the South Point Hotel
Casino in Las Vegas I got a hot tip that there's a real soft poker tournament
here every Sunday night at 6 o'clock usually I'm at home playing tonight I
bricked everything and here we are chasing losses $10,000 guaranteed prize
pool 125 dollar buy-in I'd rather regret going for it and
failing than not doing it at all
with vines at 400 800 under the gun just lost most of his stack the previous hand
he's all in dark 2,800 middle positions all in for 3,000 we're in the big blind
with Jack seven offsuit 2,200 more to call trying to knock out two people get
some more legroom so we put in the call we're up against Jack deuce and ace 3 I
believe let's see what happens
with blinds ads 400-800 under the gun plus 250 year old Caucasian woman open
limps folds me the small blind I have 12,000 and East 9 of space so I rip it
in there the big blind folds and the woman goes deep into the tank
she gives me the stink-eye many many times gives me a pump fake fold and then
eventually folds we really earned that one at the South Point with blinds at
500 1000 1000 action folds surrounded me in the small blind I have 11,000 and
East Queen off suit I could live here to induce a jam but these people aren't
just jamming light they're more likely to call light with any age city pear
King Jack king queen type hands so he just shuffle and long gentleman on my
left thinks about it for about 20 seconds and pushes the call let's hold
he's got the king six suited
yes I'm out of the South 121 he hesitates and doesn't want to show
his hand am i getting slow rolled we buy in for five hundred dollars at the one
to five papa papa pot limit Omaha game we got our buddy Steve on her left to
his left is two guys from Spain what kind of shady and we got a nice guy from
Canada on my right we're chatting it up
with blinds at one dollar two dollar five handed Spaniard in the cutoff pots
it to $15 we're in the small blind with a beautiful hand East King Jack ten with
jack ten of diamonds could three about this but I liked for a call facing the
large pot sizing want to fill out my opponent see what he's up to see how
crazy is when the flop comes ace high with two diamonds we're loving our hand
we check it over to the raiser who bets $25 I could check raise here but he
could still out the other two aces and a variety of rap type holdings and route a
position so we don't want to blow the pot too much with our $500 stack when
the turn brings a nine not the best card for us although it does give us the nut
straight draw he's gonna make a lot of two pairs on this board a seven eight
nine ace five nine seven hands like that so we check it over to him and he bets
$85 very big bet but a reasonable bet for our hand still no reason to overplay
our hand and put in the check raised so we put in the call once again we have
showdown value and we got two draws one to the nuts
when the river is a brick not loving my hand so much anymore we check it over to
him and he says a word that contains three letters pop polarizing his hand
strength so he's saying he has six eight pocket aces or Bluff what hands wouldn't
be bluffing with that he take this line of bet bet pop I can't think of many we
block two of the flush draw combos we block his jack ten straight turns
straight draw combo so eventually we just put in the fold and live to fight
another day he later went on to tell us that he
turned the nuts with the six eight I believe
I'm under the gun with Queen Jack ten eight double suited a premium so I make
it $10 to go small blind from Spain makes it $30 and the big blind also from
Spain puts in the cold for bet to $90 I already lost about $100 in a previous
hand I did not reload so we have $400 to
start don't really want to put in the five bet jam here although it plays
pretty well versus aces I think it was about 45% I'd rather see a flop in
position and play it from there so I put in the cold call a Timor and the small
blind comes along the flop comes eight seven four I believe we have both
backdoor flush draws we have top hair and we got a straight draw original cold
for better it checks to us and it's time to go for it you got to be aggressive in
Omaha denies some equity hopefully we just take it down or get heads up small
blind flat calls and original for better folds which I believe is aces possibly
kings or East king queen jack it turns a low card we get it in rivers a deuce I
believe we got top hair very rarely good here I show my hand he hesitates and
doesn't want to show his hand am I getting slow ruled he eventually
bucks he must had the old 8 9 10 Jack or the 6
7 9 10 something like that not gonna complain $900 pop my way at 1/2 pot
limit Omaha short-handed feels good man
sixty-five
