a family pot with pocket deuces 2009-04-13 - 3:58 p.m. A so-called family pot occurs when everyone at the table is involved in the hand. Yesterday, I was in a family pot, at a good full ring 9 player 30/60 game starring a local fish/calling station and an even worse tourist fish/calling station. I'm in middle position, MP 2 to be precise. Fish limps, second fish limps, the next two reasonable guys then limp, I look down and see pocket deuces, a hand I might usually discard from the middle, but with a pot guaranteed to offer me five opponents, then I too limp. Everybody else limps to the small blind, who raises. All call. That's 18 small bets in the pot before the flop. The flop is 6, 4, 2, two diamonds. Small blind bets, some calls, I raise my set of 2s, more calls. I have 6 opponents, with no real flop aggression being shown other than the SB's C-bet. 14 more small bets in the pot, for a total of 32 small bets or 16 big bets. The turn is another 6. Someone mumbles, "That board didn't hit anyone." The only hands I now fear are pocket 66s or pocket 4s, and I would expect much more aggression on the flop if anyone held those hands. They all check to me, and I bet. 3 callers. 20 big bets. If anyone has the hands I fear, they are missing a ton of raises and re-raises, because I obviously like my hand. I have to conclude that I'm good. The last card is a Q. When small blind checks, there's a small chance he's going for the check-raise with pocket Qs, but there are lots of other big pocket pairs he could be holding, and I'm just not going to worry about it. I bet, a late position player calls, the small blind folds and now I almost certainly know I've won but I'm just holding my breath to see if I get any overcalls. Sure enough, the tourist fish throws in another $60 because, as he explains, "That board is so weak that I thought my pair of Queens was good." Dude had Q-rag suited or something, right, real good. Anyway, yay me. I rake a huge 23 big bet pot with my pocket deuces. It can happen here.
