Sunday Session at the V
I really need to create a post for many hands of the Sunday session at the V, there were several classic hands, here’s one.
3/6 limit HE, I look down at 99 and I limp in MP. I am looking to flop a set here basically; if paint comes I’ll get leery. I go both ways with a hand like this, sometimes I raise here to build a pot in case I hit the set, sometimes I just play it slow. It’s not like anyone will fold to a raise anyways. So, I limped if I recall correctly, the flop comes 9XX all hearts and at least one paint card. I look back at cards to do a heart check, one thing that I think I need to try to avoid more often. I need to remember what suits I have without the recheck. You can get some reads by that. Anyways, I hit my set and I start to mash the pedal hoping no one has pocket hearts. Oh yeah.. the heart check was a negative, NO HEARTS! I got 2 callers on the flop. Of course they call it’s a whopping $3. If there is any remote possibility of a hand coming together, no one folds there. The turn was…well is wasn’t that substantial and I bet out again and got 2 callers, again. Darn. Well I think I may need to fill up here to win. Then the river comes and it’s also a heart. It’s not the 9 for quads and it doesn’t pair the board. Great! I have my set and the board has 4 hearts on it. I HATE THAT! Well, I decided that I had been the lead on every street and the ONLY way that I win this hand is to bet right out and hope that if there is a small heart they just fold. Well, it worked. I got to drag a decent pot with no heart.. The asian lady next to me, said that she had like TJ for a straight draw, but I have a feeling that the other guy may have had a small heart… I probably lose there without betting, so I think I made a good choice. I’m working on not being afraid of the suited boards. Sometimes if they DO have the suit and only 1 card I card I can try to rep that mine is bigger…

A fresh clean seat...
Now, this post has absolutley nothing (well very little) to do with poker, but I thought someone out there might appreciate it. One of the best things about working for a place that is 98.9% women is that even if I don't make it to my "other office" until the midday, I often find that I am the first one to hit the seat. There is something refreshing about lifting the lid to see the clean, slightly blue tinted water. Knowing that the seat has been left untouched since the janitor left the night before is simply a good feeling.
