Today's Daily F**king Poker Blog goes back to NL Hold'em.
After a 14th place finish last night, I went right back to work getting to 30K at the first break and 109K at the second break. But computer disconnect problems plagued me from there to the end and I went out in 46th (out of 4,000 peeps). I will spare the details of the disconnect problems and move on with a better story.
Early on there was a pinhead named Pinxexxx who was the classic chip bully. He had the big stack and was waving it around making it difficult to play hands with him. I bided my time waiting for the right moment, and after awhile I was able to triple up to 8K but my stack was still well behind Pinhead's. Then I eked out a couple more hands and was about even with the Pinhead at 11K+ when finally my chance came. I got dealt A-10, limped in and got a flop of 10-10-3 for a set of 10s. Now all I had to do was wait for the Pinhead to throw his chips at me. There was one other guy in the hand and after the flop it went check-check to me. This wasn't how I planned it, so I checked. Next card is a 6 and again check-check to me. So, I checked again, being patient. The river was a K and the third spade which worried me a little bit, but I shrugged it off. After the river the third guy, in the hand, who only had about 2,100 chips, bets 1,000 (the big blind was 200 so a substantial bet). Pinhead called and now I knew I had him (Pinhead that is). I was worried that the first guy had made a flush but with Pinhead just calling, I was pretty sure I had him smoked and with Pinhead just putting in 1,000, I was pretty sure he would not fold so I went all in (11K). If Pinhead called I would win a big pot even if the other guy did have me beat.
Well Pinhead, in his gracious oafish way, politely told me bye bye as he called. He had K-Q. Turns out the first guy had K-A so I smoked him, too. Of course, after Pinhead was gone I politely replied "See ya".
