Playing at the Local Indian Casino tonight. This scenerio was a first for me.

$1/$2 NLHE Full 10 player table

Middle Position (aprox $40), Timid, tight, played only limped hands for two hours, never raised.

SB Happy go lucky jokester (Aprox 210), having a great time, yapping all night.

BB ME (Aprox $280)


A couple limpers
MP RAISES to $12 to go!
Fold to SB, Jokester calls
ME checks cards and find Pocket 8's, call hoping to spike an 8
Everyone else folds

Flop comes A K J

SB Checks

I don't like the looks of this flop so I decide to toss out $10 just to see if MP
has a smallish PP and would fold, or caught some of this.

MP Declares "All in" and pushes his $30 remaining into the pot which pretty much tells me what I want to know. As I am thinking about how fast I can fold,
SB picks up his cards and tosses then twards the middle of the table while jokingly saying "I'm All in too"

I freeze and look at the dealer, who immeadiatly calls "Floor"

She explains to the floor what the situation is and the floor rules SB All in and cards in the muck are dead.

Dealer pulls the SB's $200 into the center, takes $30 off the top for the All in from MP and looks at me.

It's $20 additional to call the All in from MP and I look at the SB with $170 raise in front of him and no cards

Hummmmm..................Me thinks these are good Pot Odds!


Interesting night at the tables

Also got Quad Kings and got paid off

And won the a raffle for the Card Player Cruise to the Mexican Riv the first week of Dec.

GOD I LOVE POKER!
