Poker story!

[brownjug1]

I am sitting at the Belterra playing a 2-4 LIMIT, game (only game spread). I am in the big blind and have 5-8 of spades, pot is not raised so I check. Flop is A hearts-6 and 7 of spades. I have an opened ended straight flush draw.I check guy bets and two of us call, next card is a blank and he bets $4.00 so I call....river is 4 of clubs. I make the nut straight, I check he bets and I of course check raise and he reraises I kill it and he shows A-A, I show the straight and he goes off, calls me an idiot and everything in the book, I tell him to quit playing like a pussy and raise pre flop......man I love limit poker!

After about two hours of playing one hand last night I called eric Hamlet with a q-5 suited just because I was getting sick of not playing........I hit trip q's.......he is still bitching about it today.

Going card dead can be brutal!

Tell Eric to take it like a man!

I told him I've seen him play a whole lot worse.

This is my most memorable poker story:
For years, 10 of us buddies would go in a motorhome to Busch stadium for a 'busman's holiday'.(night game followed by a day game) We would drink beer and play poker for almost the entire time. I was on fire this trip, and winning a lot. We get into a hand and everybody's firing on pretty good hands... the pot gets big. When it got too rich, me and my buddy Earl(RIP) were the only ones left. He's showing three 5's, and I'm showing a pair of Kings. We are both firing on every raise. My buddy Don whispers in my ear, "I think you're betting into 4 fives." I whispered back, "I hope so." I thought he was going to choke down.

Earl flips over 4 fives and starts dragging the pot. I said "That's a nice hand, Earl... but it won't beat the 2 Kings I have on the table, and the 2 I have in the hole."

I believe that was the loudest and shrillest cussing I ever got.

ps  The next year I had to borrow money to eat on the way home.

Sounds like the only time I was called the "C" word at the card table by the charming Ryan Angus.....similar story..........still love to retell it.

Jug, I am not leaving a pot ever with an open ended straight flush draw unless someone is putting me all in. What a dope

I never would have caught a hand with that many outs.
