nice journal brad. i've been reading the past few days, catching up on old posts. very good stuff. thanks.
anyway, you caught my attention specifically with this post. bout 2 years ago, i was playing 10-20 in the borgata, very loose game, and saw a hand just like that. i remember it more clearly than any hand i've ever seen or been a part of.
4 people in, capped preflop. so that's already 175 including the folded blinds.
flop comes out 8-9-A, rainbow. each player had more than enough to go capped through the river. one player betts out, 2nd raises, 3rd raises, 4th folds. 1st player capps it, other two call. that's 295.
turn comes, it's the 4th 8. the 9's were first to act, and, having made a boat, bet out. he gets raised bt the aces, who gets raised by the quads, who gets capped by the 9's ( the guy with nines was having a rough night, and having finally made a hand, would be damned if he didn't get it all in when he could). that's 535. last card comes, not 9 or A. the guy with 9's checks. the aces bet, raised by the 8's, called by the 9's, raised by the A's, capped by the 8's, and called by the 9's.
when they flip it the guy with 9's full went balistic. the guy with aces with just incredulous, and the guy who made quads, a good guy sitting on my right, just collected the pot as if nothing unusual had happened. i think he simply just didn't know how to react to winning a 775 pot in a 10-20 game.
