2 tabling the 50NL games. I bought in for $25 each time. This session turned out to be a strange one. Suckouts galore and many sets over sets. The landmines were planted all around and all I had to do was dodge them. To save space I’m just going to re-cap some of the stranger hands I saw.
I almost lost my buy-in early by getting involved in a weird hand. I get AA in late position (again with those damn Aces!). I bet he raises. Naturally, I push and he calls with 55. I’m the favorite until the flop. He hits his 5, but the turn and river fills a straight on the board. We chop.
Wow. This must be my lucky day because we literally both dodged bullets that hand. This is online poker folks…I’ve learned to love the insanity.
It gets even weirder.
Another hand that I witnessed at FullTilt. I was almost a particpant in this madness.
I get A/10 diamonds in EP. I raise standard 3x BB. I get a re-raise and someone in late position goes over the top of that raise. I quickly fold. Normally, I might call with this type of hand given the odds but as I said before the night was going weird, I decided to be cautious and sit this hand out.
The flop is all diamonds. I’m cursing myself for not gambling (you know how poker players are…they’re always saying they should’ve played this hand or that hand…lol). Long story short the guy nails a straight flush to beat out a set. Funny, I went from hating myself for not gambling enough to feeling relieved that I saved myself a bad beat story.
Last but not least:
I’m about even for the night when I get this hand. QQ in the BB. I get a raise from EP shortie (he had about $10), the CO re-raises. I raise the pot to $8. EP pushes, CO off calls. I call.
The board is Q,5,A. CO bets, I call. Turn is another A. He pushes all in and I call. The river is another Ace.
The shortie had A/7 suited and collects the main pot. The CO had 55 and I collect the side pot.
That’s it I’ve seen enough online craziness for one session. I call it a night and leave with a modest profit.
