100th Post!

Wow, This is my 100th post. Thanks to all the bad bar poker play for helping me get there!

Last night my weekly Tuesday game was an unusually strange one. Turn out was great with 32 players on a nice night. Had a few 1st time players which can make things extremely interesting, especially when they ask questions about how to play. The strange thing is we didn't lose a player for the whole 1st hour. I am not sure, but don't think this has ever happened before. Now remember we are talking about bar poker! Here are a few strange events other then no one getting knocked out early.

Down to 4 handed with one good player, one fair player and two poor any ace type players. Good player is under the gun and moves all for a little more then big blind. Small and big blind call. Hand is checked down and board ends up with 4 hearts on it. All-in turns over A-J no hearts. Small blind turns over 6-2 hearts. He had turned a flush and continued check down. (that's a whole blog in itself). Poor player turns over 7-3 with the 7 of hearts to win the big pot. 6-2 guy goes on tilt for not raising after the turn. LOL! So know I am left with two bad players and a fair one. Good things blinds were high or I could have been there all night. It came down to 2 or 3 calls every hand and then a check down until someone hit a card and then a bet and everyone folds. This went on for many hands until one player finally went short and was all-in on blind and lost. Now to heads up. Even stacks with fair and bad player left. Bad player will only bet if they think they have a good hand or hit the board. Bet and you will win. Fair player decides to start calling dark when he is small blind. What a move. He has taken away his ability to raise and the other player will check every time. He has taken away a chance to take the blinds down or two find out the strength of the other players hand. Fair player finally bluffed at a pot after the flop with a low end straight draw and was called by the nut high end. At least my agony was finally over. I tried to explain to fair player what he had done wrong and his answer was. You know that makes sense. Enough said!
