Unbelievably Sick
I just have to share this one.
I played in the PokerStars $18.50 + $1.50 turbo satellite to the nightly $50+$5 - $50,000 guaranteed tournament. I held on and won a seat in the main tournament.
On the first hand, I am in the BB. I get:
Everybody folds to the small blind, who raises to T80 - which is 4x the BB. I figure he is a donk who is trying to steal the blinds. Since I have an excellent hand, I raise it up to set the tone early on. I DO NOT want him to make a habit of stealing my blinds. So I pop it up to T240. He calls.
Pot: T480
The flop comes:
SB checks. I bet T380. SB raises to T1100.
What the heck? Does he have 99, TT, KK, or AA?
I do not ponder too long. I figure he would have reraised preflop with AA or KK. The only thing I need to worry about is 99 or TT. I push all-in (I know - dumb move. Why put my tournament life on the line with one pair?)
He calls and shows:
How sick is that? First hand of the tournament and the blinds get two huge pocket pairs.
The turn is:
The river is a brick and I suck out (for once) to double up.
dobbbber - if you read this - I am so sorry. That was sick in a lot of ways.
