The most infamous hand ever played at the Wednesday Crackhouse Game (Dawn)
Phantommut raises to $4, UTG. I insta call with QJ, Fisch calls, Ron Lad calls and Mark calls.
Five see a flop of Th 8d 7d.
I have flopped color!
So I call Phantom's ten dollar bet.
Fisch moves all-in for $32.
Phantom calls and then I'm all...uh oh...I can't call this for a gutshot and a backdoor jack high flush draw....or can I? No. I can't...so...
"I'm all in"
Phantom leans back in his chair, hems a little. Haws a lot and then calls for his last $30. I have him covered.
They turn over their hands:
Fisch Td3d Phantom KsKc Dawn: Most definitely does not turn over her hand.
Turn is another 8 and the river is the 9s.
Dawn shows a straight and wins the whole crazy monster pot.
F-train and Karol sit in disgust trying to come up with a word worse than donkey. As it is determined that calling me a donkey would give donkeys a bad name. I was also deemed to make Dutch Boyd look like a good player.
I apologized profusely to Phantom, but boy does he go on super super super mega tilt.
But in my defense, I have warned you all what happens at the Wednesday Crackhouse games when Dawn and Fisch are at the table together, right?

The Mut's cardinal rule, from here on out:
Do not get between Dawn and Fisch's money.

Thanks.
Sorry, Cannot find contact information, that is why I insert a comment
Dude.
And you have the action all wrong (making you seem less like you were playing roulette than the reality). Phantom only had to call another couple of dollars, most of his money was already in.

I do not understand Fisch's comment.
But then, I wouldn't imagine I'm his intellectual peer or anything.
I once misspelled donkeys in a scrabble tournament. Spelled it "donkies" and the woman spends 30 seconds looking at it and finally says "you look like you know how to play, so it's probably an alternate spelling. I won't challenge it." It was a bingo worth 50 bonus points of course. She wasn't happy after the game. I won by 26 points and of course it wasn't a word.
You look like you know how to play dawn.
As his intellectual peer, I can tell you, it's not all it's cracked up to be. There's a lot of going back and forth between being frank and being fisch.
I think what Fisch actually held was Qh 9h; my recollection is he had an up-and-down straight draw and a flush draw, neither of which got there
When he went all-in, I figured he had a monster drawing hand, but that my kings were good at the time. (If he had flopped a set or two pair, I don't think he tries to drive me out of the hand.) Assuming my recollection is correct, when the hands are plugged into twodimes.net fisch is the favorite, but the extra money in the pot from previous action makes my call defensible, if not correct.
Of course, when Dawn goes all-in I go into an almost-triple-up situation, and the call of that all-in became a pretty-much no-brainer, especially with 2/3s of my stack already committed. (twodimes.net doesn't say nice things about Dawn's hand until the river comes.)
What tilted me was that I felt I had a good read on fisch's hand, but I was truly clueless as to what Dawn might be doing, based on the betting history. And it turns out clueless was the proper state.
Played some very stupid poker and won those hands. Played some heady poker and lost a bundle. Not good for developing a solid, steady poker game, but probably a good experience nonetheless.
(A good experience is often something you hope has slapped you hard enough so you have the sense not to experience it again.)
No, you give me too much credit, I didn't have the up and down straight draw.
I had the 10-3 of diamonds.
Dawn messed up the post by putting the 10d on the board and in my hand...but this is what it looked like and here are the odds...
Td 3d 43.74
Ks Kc 40.97
Jc Qd 15.28
In other words, 2 people made the correct play, and there was one donkies.
mmmmm-wah.
but hey i gave it all back and so all is right with poker. Now, let's discuss folding the nut flush.
Gave it back to whom, though....
Tilt sucks. Totally my fault for being there, though... (Donktasistic stuff happens. If I'm ever going to get any good at the game, I'll have to deal with it.)
yep. though i don't think wednesday nights at the crackhouse is the best fora for learning to deal with tilt. :) We are best for learning to play a super tight game of peddling the nuts and letting the fish give you their chips. See Julia and Mark the Second, to whom i gave all my chips whilst chasing draws.
Well that makes it the perfect place to deal with tilt-producing situations. How would I know how badly I could tilt in the real world if it weren't for the most infamous double-suck-out hand ever?
Better the Crackhouse than the Borgata, that's what I think.
(BTW, I know I'm the only one keeping score, but so far I've lost about $120 with pocket kings to some pretty ill calls at Chez Dawn. I'm getting a thing about cowboys, and it's not a good thing...)
Well, I don't know if you want any advice (particularly not from the girl that stumps F-train's "horrible player" vocabulary) but if you'd resist the urge to show the bluffs and tighten up the image, your big pairs won't get cracked quite so hard. Probably. :)
and if you have a thing for cowboys, watch brokeback mountain a few more times.
I am always looking for advice, especially from the author of Poker Rule #1. In all seriousness, that was an impressive piece of writing about poker.
However, in regards to a loose table image (and I hope better players than me will correct me if I'm wrong) I thought it was a good thing when people with pocket threes (or, hypothetically, a gutshot straight and backdoor flush draw) go all in on my pocket kings after I bet them big. Or maybe I'm not understanding that Fundamental Theorem of Poker thing...
You're definitely right about flipping my cards. No need to be doing that.
(And fisch, those guys in Brokeback weren't cowboys, they were sheepboys. Not that there's anything wrong with that.)
(didnt't see it yet. I hope you didn't just ruin the ending for me...they're REALLY SHEEPBOYS!!!)
making you seem less like you were playing roulette than the reality
I think it seems plenty like she was playing roulette.
Mut had to call another $15 or so. It should have been a no-brainer with the overpair but he really did think about it for a long time. Longer than Dawn did, fo sho.
I try to play fast, but that assumes I think I know what's going on. Sorry if I slowed the game down.
Are you kidding? The amount of time you thought only served to make Dawn look even more ridiculous. Well done!
I think you played it great... nice hand.
I just want to clarify that I neither coined nor used the phrase "way to go, Dutch". I'm the good one, Dutch, Dawn is the evil one, just so we're clear.
