Some straight flushes

Alrighty, I'm finally going to write these down...

Super epic hand numbar one:

Adam, Ethan, Debby and I are playing 4 handed. I have $50, Adam has $20 and Ethan covers. Debby folds the cutoff, I raise on the button with 4c 6c to $.3. Ethan 3bets from the small blind to $1.50. Adam cold calls in the big blind, I call and we see a flop:

3c 7c 5s

I think that qualifies as a pretty good hand for me. Ethan checks, Adam bets $5, I call, Ethan raises to $22.50, Adam calls all-in, I move in and Ethan calls.

The hands:

Ethan: 7h 7s (top set)
Adam: Ks Kd (overpair)

We run out the hand...

The turn is... the 5c! I make a straight flush, Ethan fills up, and I have both of them drawing stone dead.

Just for good measure, Adam rivers the Kc for kings full...

All skill? Must be...

The carnage:




Supar epic hand numbar 2:

Details on this one are a little fuzzier. Lindsay raises the button to $.30, Edwin calls in the SB, I call in the BB with Tc 7c.

Flop comes down:

2x 8c Jc

We both check to Lindsay who bets $.50. Edwin calls and I check-raise to $2.25 or so. Edwin calls. The turn is...

9c

And my goodness, is that Edwin leading into me for half his stack for almost a pot sized bet? Yes. Yes it is...

I raise enough to put him all-in. He calls, I table the stone cold immortal nuts and he starts muttering something about not putting me on that...

Running good feels good...

Some more cold decks coming

Damn, I haven't updated in forever. I've been meaning to put up a post on some ridiculous cold decks that have happened recently, but haven't gotten around to it yet...

They are coming soon!

Coldest of cold

Most of you guys have probably already heard about this hand, but since it's the coldest of cold decks that I have been personally involved in, here it is.

Last hand of the night, we are down to 4 players. I raise the button and Leyan calls in the big blind.

Flop comes down:
Kh8h8x

I bet $.3 into $.65 and Leyan calls.

Turn is 2x

Leyan checks, I bet $.75 into $1.25. Leyan check-raises to $2.25, I call.

River is 9x

Leyan bets $5, I raise to $18, Leyan moves in for $6-$7 more. I call. Here is a picture of the carnage:



(Hands in case you can't see from the picture: Leyan KK, me 88. Yes, that's quads vs. top full house. Flopped.)

All. Skill.
