Weird-ass hand

[howardtreesong]

I ended up at the Vic for a while this weekend around work commitments. While waiting for a 5-5 PLH game, I sat in a capped-buyin 1-3 NLH game. Going into the hand, I have 610 quid and my opponent slightly less

So wait a minute, you never declared that you called the 100? The dealer made the call for you?

wtf?

Tough beat though.

I think the dealer was saying that the 100 pound chip was a call since he didn't say "raise" (and not raising with the nuts is, well, nuts).

[purplehaze9]

Wow indeed.

Only calling with Ah6h lol

[howardtreesong]

If he manages to actually get his raise in right, I'm only calling. It feels weird to only be able to call with quads, but that's clearly the situation here. This hand was actually a win for me given that I should have lost rather more.

HF guy probably thought he was being clever by throwing in the big chip without saying anything. Lucky for you. This reminds me of a hand that I saw on High Stakes Poker last week. Mike Matusow makes a bet of about $2K and Eli Elezra throws in a $10K bundle of bills without saying anything. Matusow thinks its a raise and immediately mucks his hand before the next card is dealt. Needless to say, he had the best hand - Elezra was on a draw. Hilarity ensued as the rest of the table needled Mike for his bonehead play.

BTW, I haven't seen BG to collect the package yet.

I think HF was too busy reading a Ukranian real-estate brochure and bragging about his hedge fund to get his processes right. He seemed pretty smart but equally self-absorbed, with a self-awareness rating that would make Hellmuth blush.

Had UNC won the NCAA's, BG's package would have been quite a bit bigger.

I'm not sure I want to get involved in a discussion about the size of BG's package.

Glad to see you got the point of my joke. Your a hard tikit to fool, sir.
