$700 Pot!
Permalink Posted 12:54 am in Categories: Poker

Unfortunately, only $350 of it was profit, so here's how I got stuck first.

I limp in with King of HeartsTen of Hearts from the CO with a $150 stack behind a few other limpers. Flop comes King of SpadesEight of HeartsSix of Hearts. Checked to me, I bet $10, get 3 calls. Turn is the Seven of Hearts. Again checked to me, I bet $35. Folded back to the guy on my right, who check-raises to $100, and I obviously shove into his Ace of HeartsTwo of Hearts cooler. Oh well. That guy is making the same move with any flush, but he happened to have one that beat me. Very standard.

I rebought $200, and I had about $215 when this pot goes down.

I limp in CO behind limpers with Five of HeartsFive of Spades. The button makes it $15 total and gets 4 calls back to me, so I call $12 to close the action ($90 pot). Flop comes Queen of ClubsSeven of SpadesFive of Diamonds. Checked to me, and I checked to the aggressive button, who regrettably checked behind. Turn is the Two of Hearts. The SB, a very poor player, bet out $45. Folded to a guy on my right, who smooth calls. I now have $200 behind, and decide to raise an amount that will pot commit someone else but not put me all-in. I made it $125 ($405 pot). Now, any good online player would see I am obviously committed, but live players are, for lack of a better word, stupid. I knew that if the SB had as little as top pair, she would call all the way down. The $125 bet will get her in, and hopefully the guy in the middle as well, and both will be committed to call my $75 all-in on the river (this type of exploitive play will almost never work online, but really bad players will fall for it). Sure enough, the crappy lady calls, and to my surprise, the other guy pushed all-in! Now, I'm slightly thinking set over set, but I really don't care at this point, as I am committed and 95% sure I have the best hand. I insta-called, and so did the other player (she had less, so pot was a little over $700). The guy now frowns and asks if I have a set. I nod, he shakes his head and shows AQ (drawing dead), the river is the Four of Diamonds, I turn up my hand, and the lady mucks (I suspect I had her drawing dead on the turn as well). Ship it.

So to recap:
Me: Five of HeartsFive of Spades
Male villain: Ace of ClubsQueen of Spades
Female villain: ?? (likely a hand like KQ or QJ... yes, she overvalues top pair that much)

Final board: Queen of ClubsSeven of SpadesFive of DiamondsTwo of HeartsFour of Diamonds
Final pot: ~$700

I only made around $60 more for the session, but that's a $400 day. I love Poker. Live Poker is so easy compared to online it's ridiculous. I've made 2 months of rent in 2 weeks.
