My Poker Afternoon
Eariler this week, I was invited to a poker game hosted by a former college roommate. We started at 12:30 PM today. I ended up winning the whole thing (5 people at $20 buy-in). Here's who played and how they lost:
John: I took John out on the forth hand. He bet much and lost on the second hand so he had about half of his chips going into this hand. I got a pocket pair of 7s. The flop included my other two 7s and a three. John bet first and immediatly went All-In. So I'm sitting there with 4 of a kind of 7s and the best that I figure that John could get was 4 3s so I alone stayed. As it turned out, John had pocket 3s and thought that his Full House would win.
Duane: Duane lost to Mel (our host) by trying to bluff his way out of a pair. He had a pair of 10s and bluffed to Mel and lost to a pair of Aces. He only had a few chips left and he went All-In and lost to Mel the next hand.
Mel: I beat Mel when I bluffed with an Ace high. I scared him and Tim out of a big pot with my Ace High hand. Then Tim beat Mel after several hands of Check-Raising Mel. Finally, Mel with just a Full House went All-In and I beat him, 9s over 8s to 8s over 10s.
Tim: Tim and I tried to wear each other out by betting low and conservative. I lucked out on one hand. Tim had two pair to my single pair but I got a Flush on the River. Just a few hands later, Tim went All-In with another Two Pair and I had Three of a Kind (three 9s) to his 9s and Jacks.
So that was how I spent my afternoon winning $100 from a old friend and 3 new friends (or victims, your call.)
