Donkey Poker and Slimy Poker


Donkey Poker - The table last night was great according to any scale you use. However, anytime one player decides to raise, bet and sometimes call until the river without the looking at their cards if certainly changes the way you play. At the end of the night I never really got the chance to do any damage.


Slimy Poker - Everybody knows the rules of poker but everybody does not follow them. Last night two people still in the hand made some type of whisper agreement before the flop after another player raised. After the hand some type of deal (money) was exchanged. It was slimy as hell. I usually speak up and stop this before it gets started, but i cant always be the (poker ruler) guy at the table speaking up. Everybody expects the game to be played fair but you have to speak up if u see something being done that could hurt you or somebody else.


Big hand of night

There was only one hand for me last night. I was down to half my original buy in and looking to double up. I limp with 33 MP and luckily take the flop 5 or 6 ways. Flop (K 3 2) rainbow. Everybody checks to player on my right (Super Rock) who bets pot, i call somewhat quick trying to disguise my strength. Everybody else folds. Before the turn comes out player on my right bets 2/3 pot which he never does. Turn is (10) putting out some type of backdoor flush draw. I count my chips and i only have about 3.5 times that bet. I decide to min-raise and commit myself to hand. I get put all in for the small amount extra. He has AA and is drawing to the old 2 outer. River is 8 and i breathe and double up.


The back story on this hand is that the same guy almost busted me with AA on a K 5 3 board last week when i had AK. I really beat myself up saying that this player should never crack me and i really made a bad call there last week.
Results= +1.5 BB
