How are you doing at the tables (Poker Thread)?

johnny that is a very strange hand to be caught in the middle of. Unfortunate you couldn't have had the 2 red aces. I cut my teeth playing local 4/8 limit games in Atlanta.

On the flip side of your hand one of the strangest I won was capped raising pre flop with about 5 people in on the flop. Capped on the flop. Turn checked around on the turn. River first to act bets two players after him fold. I've got 10 high. I tell the person who bets that I've got 10 high and am going to call him. I can't let $150 go against an $8 call. I make the call. Patrick looks at me shakes head and says "you're good."

At least one guy that folded hit the board but didn't think their hand was any good. Normally I wouldn't have played my junk, but like I said I was cuttin my teeth. By far one of the most bizarre hands that I can recall.

Poker players they be crazy.

I was at the horseshoe in tunica probably in 04 playing on a 10/20 table when there was a lot of commotion. Fuggin Scottie nguyen is playing the 20/40 Omaha/8 blind. Raising every bet down to the river blind. He's having a good time as sure as everyone else at the table with anything playable. He quickly burned through a few grand then asked the dealer to spot him 5 grand. The casino host standing next to Scottie gave his nod. Scottie then proceeded to burn through this stack laughing and cutting up the whole time. I think I was playing the wrong game that night.

Your not kidding, and it was my very first hand. I still had a$100 left, as I always take $300 or more when I'm going to play the $1/$2 No Limit, but I always buy in for $200. However, I was so flustered that I got up and left, playing only one hand in that secession. That is the first time something like that has ever happened to me!

I played some $2/$4 this past Tuesday for about two hours, at a new casino that my wife and I decide to go see (The East Side Cannery) and ended up winning $68. No big thing but it did help with my moral.

And that my friend is one of the hardest lessons I've learned at the tables. If you can't shake off a beat at the table, get up and take a break.

WTG on the win at the new Casino. A win is a win.
