Late last night I decided to have me a "quick" game of poker on
PKR . $1 buy in 6 seater sitngo. Had I known it was going to go on for over an hour, I surely wouldn't have registered for it.
This game has got to be one of the best games I've had in a long time. The play was hot, 2 fish knocked out pretty quickly and then the battle was on. Four good to excellent players were left and poker "respect" was present.
The chips were fairly evenly spread between the four of us and all the poker tricks were there too....slow playing good hands, check-raising...you name it, it was there. One guy had trips twice and didn't bet hoping other players would bet but the play was so tight, there was no bluffing at all and he just won the BB and SB.
At one point I had KK and raised 5xBB and one guy called. He went all in after the flop which was J 5 10 and I called. He showed 10 10 and whooped my butt with his trips. I still had about 1700 chips left after calling him.
The play went on for some time and the chips were going back and forth between the players. The guy that doubled up on my KK kept losing his chips and he was down to about 1900. He was SB and I was BB. The two other players folded and he flat called the BB. I had AK hearts but chose not to raise. Flop comes down 10 J Q rainbow. I thought to myself this is it. He bet about 600 and I flat called. He then went all in after the turn which was a 6 and I called which put me all in. He showed 66 and the river was no help to him at all and I doubled up. He was left with about 150 chips I think.
He managed to double up once and then he got knocked out against AK. So there were 3 of us left. The play tightened up even more. Nobody was calling with rubbish. At one point I had AA and everyone had folded. What a waste!
Eventually, there were just 2 of us women left - I knocked the last guy out but I can't remember the hand....it was a long game.
So heads up with this pretty good playing woman who had thrown all rubbish the whole game. At first we were just checking and betting if we hit and I decided to up the stakes a little and changed my play to aggressive.
At one point I had Js Qs and blinds are $150/$300 and I'm BB. Opponent raises to $600 and I just flat called. Flop comes down 4s 2s 9d. She goes all in and I flat called. This left me about $1500. Her cards popped up and she had Kd Ks. I was praying the spade would fall and the turn was As. I'm thinking yeah - here we go. River 6s. So she wins with Ace flush with the Ks. What a disappointment that was. The game would have ended with me the winner if it were not for that damn spade on the river.
Anyway, I decided to be even more aggressive and anything above Jack in my hand and I was all in. I managed to get back up to about $1900 stealing the blinds for a couple of hands.
Next comes 10 J for me. She flat calls. Flop comes down Qd Kd Ah. I just went all in and opponent calls. She shows 3h Ad. Fortunately for me Qh was turn and 2d was river and I doubled up.
Game goes on and on and chips are back and forth for some time and then I'm back on top again with $6k in chips. I'm BB at $800 and opponent is SB at $400. She goes all in for $2700 and I just called.
Cards are down and I show my 10 10 opponent has A 7. Flop comes down A 6 A. Turn 10, River K. So she has trip aces and I have the
full house and it was game over.
OMG - this game lasted 1hr 22 minutes and I was worn out but thrilled that I had won. I have never been so determined to win a game as this one purely because of the quality of play.
