aces do win once in awhile 2010-09-24 - 9:36 p.m. A good day for me in Biloxi at a fast-moving, not very challenging 1/2 NL game. There was one guy who would call really large pre-flop raises with weak hands and then sometimes try to take the lead with his draws or even with no hand at all. When he first sat down, he was drawing out on me like crazy but then the tide turned. First I got him when I had AK on the button, put in a large raise, which he called, and we got a pretty scary board, such that I decided that the best play was to induce a bluff bet from him on the river. It worked like a charm. He had AQ, which was actually a little more than I gave him credit for, but still just not quite enough to beat me, tee hee. Then for awhile I went down and then back up and mostly round and round between my starting point and about $150 up. Heck, I was only about $5 up when I picked up AA against the same guy. A bad (weak-tightish) short-stacked lady opens for $10, he calls, I make it $60 to go on the button, and they both call. She has 88, he has QJ. The flop is QJ5, two spades, she checks, he goes all in for his remaining $185, and if it was anybody else at this table, I could maybe give him credit for QQ or JJ and get away. However, on this draw-heavy board, he's fast-playing one of his draws here so often that I decide to call since I do hold the A ♠, giving me the tiny opportunity of a backdoor flush. With a $185 bet and call in front of her, the lady folds this flop, cursing bitterly a moment later when another 8 falls on the turn. The river is another 5, and my Aces up beats his Queens and Jacks. Probably not a very remarkable hand but oh well... I drove home rather early. The deep stack experiment is over. We're going to stick to smaller and medium stacks, where we seem to have the best grasp of the game. With 400 big blinds in front of me, $500 of it profit, it was time for me to leave the table, especially once the pre-flop calling station/post-flop spewtard headed off to dinner. back - next All Rights Reserved, Copyright 2002-2017 by Elaine Radford
