So there is this guy thats jonesin to get an Act I started without the help from the people that actually work at the casino. Will gets more than a little angry because his is the first name of the sign up list. The table is filled up and Will is left standing there holding himself, while damn near writhing in anger. Will steps up tells the dude that they aren't playing without hime sitting at the table. Klotz gets up to give Will his seat and an argument ensues.
Dude: You look like you are ready to curse at me.
Will: I'm not ready to curse at you, I'm about to throw you throught that window.
Dude: That shows what kind of person you are.
Will: Thats right!..I'm a Fucking Animal!

Where We Roll
So today (Friday the 11th) when I'm "working" I decided to take a 20 minute break and play a litte Party Poker. I tend to bounce between the $5 sit-n-go tournaments (1 table of 10 people) and the $25 NL tables. I hadn't been having much luck at the $5 tournaments so I decided to go back to the NL tables.
For those of you who have played online you know how streaky it can be. One day you cant catch a cold and the next any two cards you play turns into a goldmine. Will I found an untapped vein of gold today in a short 20 minute session.
I only played three hands of any significance out of the 25 or so hands dealt while I was there. Just to set it up for those not familiar with how the blinds work, the small blind is $0.25 and the big blind is $0.50 with no max on the betting. To keep it somewhat even, the most anyone can sit down with at the table is $25.
Hand No. 1
I get dealt 55 in a middle position and raise to $2 pre-flop and get two callers, one on each side of me. Flop comes 5 9 3. The guy to my right bets $2 into the pot which already has about $8. I just call (cause everyone likes to slow play a monster). But much to my surprise/delight, the guy to my left raises to make it $4. Guy 1 calls and now its up to me. So I go All-In and have them both covered. If I win the pot right there great, if one guy calls even better. But both call. I dont recall what the turn and river were but they were irrevelant. I take down a $64 dollar pot. I never saw what Guy 1 had (he didnt show), but Guy 2 had pocket Q's which were an over pair to the entire board. (Two suckers down and time for some fresh meat)
Hand No. 2
This time I'm on the button and get dealt the mother of hands. Thats right, American Airlines, Pocket Rockets (insert your favorite term here). Only problem was that everyone folded to me. I cant just call and let one of the blinds catch something crazy, so i raise $1.50 to make it $2.00. Small blind calls and the big blind folds. Flop comes 652. Little blind bets out $3, I raise to $5 he calls putting about $12 in the pot. River comes 9 and he checks. I bet $6 and he folds. The pot is about $18 (including my $6 bet) and I net about $5 bucks.
Hand No. 3 (aka the big one)
At this time, I'm the big stack at the table with about $68. The guy directly accross the table is close behind with $64. Can anyone guess where this is going??? Again, I'm in middle position this time I'm dealt 9 10 suited (clubs). I call the BB and there are about 5 people in the hand (Pot $2.25 or so). And like I said before when your catching cards look out. The flop comes 10 9 2 with two (spades) and I'm sitting there with top two pair. It checks to me and I bet $2. Guy on the button (also the 2nd largest stack to me) raises to make it $6. I think about it for a minute conemplating what he might have (A-10, K-10, two over cards, over pair........) I decide that my 10 9 is best and re-raise making it $25....thinking I'll win the pot right there....but he calls after thinking for a bit. At this point I'm thinking does he have trips?? Am I walking into some deep shit? But if he had trips, wouldn't he re-raise again? So now there is about $50 or so in the pot and the turn comes 6 (not a spade making a flush draw not as likely especially based on the betting/calling). At this point I decide that I'm still best and I push All-In for my remaining $45........He's got to fold now...if he doesn't I am totally screwed cause he has to have trips. But he calls. Now in tournament play, if one player is all in, they flip the cards for everyone to see, but at the NL tables they dont so I have to wait to see. Luckily at Party Poker they deal fast not wanting to hold suspence and it was over quickly. The river came with another 9 giving me a boat. He turns over AA and i take down a cool $139 pot. I quickly stand up from the table (move my mouse and hit a button) with my body buzzing from the Rush.!!! God I love my Job!!!!!!
