Poker

[Smooth Operator]

In a competitive home game two nights ago

Dealt 8, 3 off as the big blind

Garbage ... so I make the no-brainer fold.

Three dudes stay in the hand ... some raising activity commences.

Flop comes 8h, 3c, 8c.

Would've flopped a full boat had I stuck around!


Turn shows Kd ... river 7s.

Some big hairy cat who I didn't know takes the thing with trip Kings.


Am I kicking myself for not hanging to see the flop?

Hell no ... I clearly made the right call to chuck a garbage hand from early position in a tight-aggressive contest.


Bottom line: sh*t like this happens from time to time ... ya gotta roll with it.




At any rate, yours truly prevailed, rather comfortably I might add, at the end of this particular session.



Learning curve is advancing quite nicely ... ya twisted freaks.
