Trying to wipe the dust off...

I finally got to get a session in and it has been a while. I sat at a 1-2 NL game this past Wednesday night and settled in for a show. The big stacks had about $800 a piece and at one point they got involved and the Irish fella lost about 3/4 of his stack he eventually got felted and the other big stack took his winnings and left, kudos!

Well the Irish fella starts raising from every position, classic post beat maniac play, he is winning with the worst hands, 5-2 and makes a wheel, 6-3 hits a river gut shot for a straight and he continued to push at people left and right, he even got me later as I made two pair on the turn and being out of position I wanted someone to bet but alas it did not work out and he caught the straight on the river. The funny thing is when I bet $15 and he raises it $45 more, why call? Only if you can beat the bluff, it was checked down TWICE not once TWICE, the flop and the turn and the river puts a straight out there. I watch as he practically embraces the table has his body weight forward and will not look at me, I ask, you got the 5-6, I want to see if I am right, and call, he says, with his accent, you called it correctly as he tables the 5-6 off. Well eventually, two hours later he busts me with the 10-4 spades, from the big blind he made it $10 to go, I had K-10 off and in the hi jack seat, three had limped before me and the button had limped, everyone called the flop was 2-3-10, two spades, Irish bets, asian guy calls, fold to me I raise another $35 on top and Irish and Asian call. The turn is a spade, Irish pushes in $100 plus, Asian contemplates and I say to myself right here...if he calls I fold and if he folds I just may call. Well Asian folded and I say to Irish, you are a lunchbox...but damnit he is leaning in again, SHYTE! does he really have the flush! Well I push in and the river is a blank. He tables that hand I smile and walk away. Gosh, gotta get the dust off, had the read but could not follow through! UGH ARGH UHHHHH!!! Until next time...


Stay nice as rice and mello as jello!
