Took some rich, obnoxious kid for about $750 + and another $100 SnG

This was my most enjoyable experience at poker in a while.

I played a live cash table for the first time in a couple weeks at the casinos today. Played for about 2 1/2 hours at the same table. There was this kid, about 21 years old I think, barely old enough to play, but very arrogant, annoying, and cocky---but the best part, full of money. And well, he just had this thing about getting into every pot I was playing and trying to push me around. Funny how there are always guys like that, looking to push women around at a poker table, but I don't mind them, because most of them aren't that good players. The things he said to me, some which I won't repeat on here since this is a family board, was a bit well vulgar, but I didn't let it really get to me, all it did was give me information on what type of player he was (dealer just gave him a couple dozen warnings, but I said I didn't mind them because I wanted him to stay at the table so I could set him up).

So I was playing at a $2/$4 NLH table, max $400. Well, anyways, he kept raising big to a lot of pots I was in, trying to be like the generic ass*hole guy and think that since I was a woman he could push me around like that. And well, I just kept letting him think that I was very weak player, and that I would fold as long as he raised big. After about 30 or so minutes of him making a big show about pushing me around at the table, I picked up KK, and just smooth called from early position. The guy, of course, raised about 8xBB since I was in the pot. Everyone folded to me. I just smooth called. Flop came K72 rainbow. This is when the fun started.

Of course, you guys can predict, he comes out firing putting out about 16xBB. I just stopped for a minute, and started my acting job. I tried to seem as weak and a pushover as possible. Just looking at my cards all nervous, and biting my lip, like I was so concerned. And finally I just smooth called again.

Turn card come a 3. Once again he comes out firing with the same bet of 16xBB. Once again, I started putting on weak act (which I have no idea how he could believe I was weak since I called, but I acted anyways). I was like, "Come on, you can't push me out of every pot. I have a really good draw here" (best part of course, not a single draw out there except backdoor flush draw, but I guess I sold it to him perfectly). So I smooth called again.

River card comes another 3, suits didn't matter, no flush draw on the board anymore. Then the guy says the best line I've heard all week, "Haha, you missed you're flush, and I hit the best card I possibly could hit. You're owned," and he pushed all his chips in. At this moment, I know he doesn't have pocket 3's, I'm just thinking to myself, should I slowroll the kid and think for a bit. Normally I never would do that, but well, the kids talk was deserving of it, so I thought for like 20 seconds. And then just said, "I think you should look up 'owned' in the dictionary," and called. He started celebrating and flips over 35 suited for trips. I show the full house, and the kid goes ballistic. Starts cussing and calling me every name he can think of. Won only about $400 from that pot, but well, let's just say I took another $350ish from him by the end of the night, before he finally left the table. Haven't found a player willing to throw his money like that to me, live for a while, so it was a good night for me.



Then when I got home just about a hour and a half ago, I just signed up for a SnG, while I had to talk with my brother about something on the fone, and didn't want to just idly sit there listening to him. Ended up at the final table, I was low chip stack, but still reasonable with the blinds, coming into the final table. Had to play the most patient, managing game I've played in a while to slowly get a nice stack. Was low stack throughout the tourney, but just kept hanging around, until I eventually won.

That's frickin great Estelle!

Thanks loved every second of it.

Hahah! counter-owned.



Nice job Estelle! It's gotta be one of the greatest feelings when you're letting a player take pots all night knowing you're just setting him up for the big stacking later on...always fun.

That's awesome. "You missed your flush", how hilarious is that? You must have won the oscar for selling a draw that wasn't even on the board. Hahahah. Great job. Where were you playing if you don't mind me asking?

"Counter-owned," lol, love the word Chuck. Yes, it is a great feeling when the set-up works. Doesn't always work if you go card dead, but luckily I didn't.


Bellagio. And unless, I am a great actor, and pretended to be such a weak player, that he really truly thought I missed the flush, I don't think that's what happened. It was hilarious for sure, but I don't think it was really my acting job that got me the all-in from him. I think he said, "You missed your flush," just because he was acting, because he really thought his trip 3s were good and he wanted to play me into a call. That and that's just the type of player he was, just sheer aggression, even towards the point of just giving away his chips. Luckily he was a rich kid, and I doubt it was that much money to him.

great job estelle! you are a great poker player. it does not surprise me a bit

Anybody who uses the word "owned" in a serious manner at a poker table needs to step back and reevaluate their life. Congrats on the ring game and the SNG.

Great job estelle, i love beating them young snotty guys,, buck

But you're a girl!!! You can't play poker good!!!!

Lmfao!!!!

I always knew you could play - seen you in action.

Well done.

yeah, don't they know the correct term is 'pwned'?

nice trip report estelle~

Thanks to everyone who read the long report and replied, just thought it could be as entertaining for all you as it was for me (OK, probably not quite as entertaining considering you guys didn't get $750 thrown to you like I did, but I hope it was a nice read).

And yes, the correct terminology is pwned, but he was using the term "owned" pretty frequently against me, so I just decided to use it against him.

Uh yea, isn't that how its suppose to work?? Lol, gosh I love it when guys just assume that I can't play. Makes the job of making them give me their money a lot more easier.

well done........take those cocky little punks for all thier worth!! he'll remeber the last woman he played thats for sure!!

Great Job Estelle!! I like it when there arroagant and you can nail them in the end. To top it off you come home and pick up a nice win at stars. Nice

Thanks guys, yes that is the best feeling in poker aloe.

That's great Estelle. What a fantastic story. Thanks for sharing with us.

Very entertaining story and congrats on the cash. Hope you get some more of these stories to share with us

they have 2/4 at casino you play or did you mean 2/5?

Always love sharing, thanks juiceeQ.

Thanks, but not all my sessions playing are as interesting, and profittable, as this one. But whenever I have an interesting story to tell I'll make sure to post them here since you guys enjoyed them so much.

2/5, isn't that what I posted?

EDIT: Yes I guess I did post 2/4, sorry about that, it is 2/5.

I was just wondering.

I was pretty sure 2/4 and 3/6 were made up levels online but wasn't sure if some land casino might be trying out those levels.


anyway great story!!

Nicely done Estelle, congrats on both.

Thanks Kenz.

And yes Storm, I have found a couple casinos that do do the 2/4 or 3/6 format, but most are 2/5.

Excellent work, Estelle! I loved reading your story. There's nothing like gently beating an a*hole into complete submission with a smile on your face.

Foxwoods in Connecticut has 1/2 nl and 2/4 fixed limit.

we were talking NL, 2/4 and 3/6 NL are made up levels usually only found online. Most live play goes from 1/2 to 2/5 to 5/10 which is why I asked, every casino has 2/4 limit.

Was just wondering if live casinos where starting 2/4 NL.

great job estelle...as long as the verbal abuse doesnt bother you hopefully you end up at the tables with him again and take him for some more money

Um, I was at an Indian Casino once in Cali, I don't quite remember which one, but they did have some 2/4 NL games there, might have been because of a promotional thing and a private request, but I'm pretty sure it was a 2/4 game because I remember playing there.

Yea, the verbal abuse if you might call it that, doesn't bother me as it would most people. It's just a part of it, even though it shouldn't be, I don't let it affect my play or let it get to me. I certainly don't approve of it, but I don't let the anyone doing that to me get under my skin at all.

And yes, definitely wouldn't mind seeing him again. Couple people told me he visits that casino regularly on the weekends, so we'll see if there are any more future encounters.

nice job estelle, you should have kicked his butt and stole his hat just for good measure.

LOL, well, I'm not a violent person, so I just settled for taking his money.

I dont doubt you!!!!

When it is good, it is very very good.........

Thats how most of the players are these days all cocky good job estelle you put him in his place! great win not a bad days work!

Hell, not even cause she's a woman, just cause she kicked some serious ass! NJ!
