Friday night poker at boss' house - winner takes all (hand)
NL texas holdem
10 players at the start with $40 buy-in, currently 5 players left. everyone started out with 2500 in chips
going around the table in order:
Seat 1: 10800 (calls 200)
Seat 2: 4600 (fold)
ME : (D) 5800 - dealt AdJc
Seat 4: 850 (SB = 100)
Seat 5: 2450 (BB = 200)
My boss is in seat 5, playing very tight and I'm guessing would pounce at any chance he get, seat 1 is a younger player and has been loose and aggressive since the start with 9 players and has been getting 2 or 3 suck outs - he is probably getting to me. Seat 4 has just lost a major pot to seat 1.
POT: 500, To Call: 200, Pot Odds: 2.5 - 1
Well I'm definitely raising here, but the game is getting abit tight with less room to maneuver with the blinds increasing. The question is 3x or 4x the BB. I made it 3x the BB, raising it to 600. Looking back now, that's probably still giving him very good pot odds.
So:
ME: raise to 600
seat 4: folds
seat 5: folds
seat 1: calls for 400 more.
Flop:
Ac Kc Jh
Pot: 1500
Seat 1: bets 1000
my initial thought here was oh yes, because I can't imagine him slow playing hands like AK, KK, AA or JJ since seat 1 is always aggressive. however I realize the club draw on the board and I don't really want him to be drawing to that.
Me: raise to 3000 (about less than half my chips left)
Seat 1 puts me all in.
errr wtf? does he have me beat or is he pulling 1 of those moves again? I felt pretty committed there but really, I would have still got some chips to play with if I folded. anyways, I called with the rest of my chips.
Seat 1: Qd Td - straight
Me: AdJc - 2 pairs drawing to a full house or runner runner flush
turn and river helped no one and I got out 5th with seat 1 in a big lead. sick to my stomachs there especially since in my view, seat 1 has been playing crap since the start of the tournament. would you guys have played this any differently?
