i don't care what they say about me, i'm going to play those quality hands 2009-05-17 - 5:10 p.m. Well, they're still harshing on me pretty good. Here's one where I actually won the hand and still got reviled and muttered about as a terrible human being. I couldn't hear exactly what evil deeds I did, but apparently here's a nice military guy who blah blah blah works too hard for this country and here I am making moves blah blah blah. Now I'll tell you the hand, and you see if you can spot the move, because I have no clue. 30/60 LHE. My opponent is not the genius he thinks he is, rather, he's in the category of, sort of lame but maybe read a book one time and since he's such a smart guy, figures he never needs to read another. I'm in the blind with 82 of clubs. He's in an early position in a fairly short-handed game, and he open raises. No callers. He's kinda lame, my hand is suited, and I'm getting 3 to 1 to call, so as Tom Cruise says, sometimes you have to say, WTF. I call. The flop is 882. Well, here is where I'm the evil deceptive witchy woman who put a move on the guy, because I decide to donk out on this flop, which after all, gives me a freaking full house. Pretty freaking sneaky, betting the best hand, right? It takes a real sick mind to do something like that. So he looks at the board, looks at me, and he just knows I ain't got none of that, so he raises, and I three-bet, and now he just calls because he doesn't want to four bet and blow me off my bluff. The turn is an A. Good. Since he did come in early, my opponent quite likely does have the A. I still have the best hand but now he thinks he does. The standard line is to check/raise him while he still thinks he's best. But I think I can get a bet/3 bet out of him -- and I do. Holy cow, I'm practically a terrorist, betting and raising with the best hand like that. How can I live with myself? The river is another 2. Well, that takes the air out of my tires. If by some odd perchance, he does hold an 8, now I have to split my pot with the guy after all my hard work. Maybe the look of sick disappointment on my face was the "move" in question? However, I still have to bet, because I can get another $60 from any hand with an A. So I do bet again, and he calls. I show my hand, he mucks, tells the guy next to him what an evil-doer I am, and starts to rack up, so I will presume that he did have the Ace. Also I'm probably now on the no-fly/go directly to Gitmo list if he has anything to say about it.
