3rd Trip Taj Stories



Posted Mon Nov 14, 2005 9:48 am GMT by twofotisx
This trip was spur of the moment so I don't have accurate results as last time. Quite a few stories though... Two of my friends also wanted to go down and for a three way split on the gas I figured what the hell...

Playing 5/10 FL
Buy In: 365
# Players: 8-10

The rest will just be stories.

My first hand at the table I get dealt A J. By the time it's my action it's been raised once so I just call. Flop comes rag, J, rag. So since the SB was out i'm first to act. I bet and get about three callers. Turn A. So I lead out and get the same three callers. River comes another meaningless rag. So again I lead out and get one caller. He had one middle pair. Took down about $120 pot. It was a false indicator of things to come....

Over the course of about 4 hours I managed to get down to only $125 in chips!!! Twice I was cracked with pocket KK, once where the board had a straight showing and the only other player made a higher straight on the rvr. Another hand I had 18 outs from the flop and missed. Obviously I'm getting pretty aggrivated.

I get A Diamond J Heart . Flop comes with three low diamonds. Action to me with two players. I call. Turn comes Q. First seat beats, 2nd seat raises and I decided that I'm taking a shot, I called. River came a diamond, and I took down the pot. I'm probably only at $150 or so in chips now..

About 7 hands later I managed to get QQ. I reraise and get 5 callers to the flop. By some miracle the people playing rags managed not to get two pair, since the flop and turn cards were all cards under a 10, and I get called down to the rvr and I take it. I've got about 230-240 in chips...

Get really crappy cards for about another hour and I'm down to 190. I literally say to the dealer, "Please just don't deal me pocket Aces, I really don't want to lose another big pot." I look down at my first card and see a A Heart . I figure okay a coincidence. Next card was the A Diamond . I raised and got 3 or 4 callers. I bet on a flop of K rag rag. All players call. Turn comes a Q. I think I might be about to get hammered by two pair but I lead out wanting to know where I am. I get one caller. River comes another K. I figure that I've just lost to trip kings or a boat but am willing to make a call to get to a showdown. I check, and it's checked behind me. My AA stands up and I'm up to 260.

Very next hand I look down to see A Spade A Club . I raise preflop again and get 2 callers. Three diamonds come up on the flop, i bet and get two callers. Turn comes another diamond. It gets checked around. rvr comes a Q of Club . It gets checked around again. I take in a low pot since none of us have a diamond. I'm back at about 300-310 in chips. Meanwhile my friends want to leave, not because of me losing, but because 1's out of money and the others tired. I want to sit for a while longer and tell them so.


For the past hour or so I have a woman at my table I can only describe as tiffany williamson. She always goes for horrible draws and normally misses... I get dealt pocket JJ. I reraise to the flop and get 3 callers. Flop comes 7 J 9 rainbow. I lead out and get two callers-the woman of course being one. Turn is a 4. I again lead out and get two calls. Rvr comes a 10. I lead and get raised. I call. The bitch played 8,3 offsuit with a raise preflop not in the blinds, and called me down to the rvr with only a gutshot straight draw. Other person had a pair of 7's. So now I'm down to about 190 or so in chips and really pissed. If I won that pot I would have been back up a bit. Instead the idiot manged to sting me.

Very next hand i get dealt 6,9 offsuit, and she raises preflop, I say audibly "Well 8,3 must be good enough must be good enough for another raise huh?" I called out of shear rage and had one other caller. Flop comes 2,3,9. I lead out again and get called by both. Then I bet in the dark going to the turn. The dealer flips over another 9. She calls after the other player folds and I immediately proceed to bet another 10 in the dark. rvr is a Q. She calls. I show my trip 9's saying "come on tiffany show me a better hand, 8,3 offsuit's no good this time." She looks at me like I'm the one that gave her the bad beat and mucks. I take down the pot and have 270 in chips. At this point my friends really want to leave. I really want to sit longer and get even but given I could feel I was still really pissed and they had been asking me for about 1 hour already to leave. I told them to wait for my next hand which was right before I was in the blinds. I see crap, fold, color up and then make my way to the car...

Lose: -95
Bankroll: 2625

Oh i hope I see that woman down there again this weekend...

You know I was watching the World Series on CardPlayer.com and I kept seeing her name up there. I was hoping that she was going to be the new, up and coming female powerhouse.

SHE IS AWFUL! I don't blame that guy for getting pissed as hell at her at the table. "I know you don't have aces. You bet to get me off THIS HAND." Bullshit, he had aces the entire time. But sure enough she sits there and hems and haws for her full 70 seconds before they call her hand dead and she gets upset.

She probably hopes to have you at her table too...if you're "calling out of sheer rage", with 6-9...

I know it stinks to get sucked out on that way, but it is part of the game, and you have to be able to deal with it and continue playing without flying off the handle. Wink
