L.A. Poker Classic


Some Funny Hands (from the 500nl event: 2k starting chip; over 600 entrants; first paid over 100k)

Level: 50/100
My Stack: 2750
Three people limp in middle position and I have Jh Jd in the CO and raise to 550. The button looks at his cards and kind of does a subconscious shoulder shrug {body language: fuck it dude, let's go bowling} and pretty quickly shoves in for 5k or so. Everyone folds to me and being 89% sure he had AK i called. [he did. I won the race]

Level: 100/200/25
My Stack: 12k
EP limps so I proceed to limp with 6d 6c in CO and the blinds limp and check. The flop comes out 2h 7c 8c and the SB just goes all in for 2075. The BB folds and the limper folds and (thinking the hand was over) he shows 2c Qc. After laughing and thinking for 15 seconds I call. [turn was club]

Level: 400/800/100
My Stack: 15k
I decide to limp UTG with AA {because the table was an all in fest preflop} LP limps, SB limps, and BB checks. Flop is Kd Tc 3d. Both blinds check and I decide to check, followed by a 2k bet from the LP limper. SB folds and BB says, "I raise to 12k" and proceeds to put out 6k in chips. I go all in for my remaining 14k, LP folds pretty quickly, and the BB confusingly counts out what appeared to be a misclick and reluctantly calls with K9o (he barely had me covered). [turn was a K]

Playing the 1500nl tomorrow by means of a moon-master-moo (the gcn type) backing. 33/33/33 -I pay juice- for a 25/25/25/25 split. [I plan on being quite focused and getting rather deep]
