I was playing at the horseshoe in miss (just went there for something to do. A no limit game with a max buy-in of 500. I had been playing for some time and was still relatively sober, as were 4 others at the table. The 5 of us had between 2000 and 2500 each, and the other players were all coasting around 400 ish, with one shorty. Now to anyone stumbling around thinking they should try to play poker they should realize two things, these are big stacks so they have been here a while, and that they are probably pretty good.
that didn't stop lots of people who obviously thought they could double up their 200 or 300 through us...sorry, this ain't a freeroll on pokerstars. Anyway, the hand...1st raises to 50, 2nd calls, 3rd, the shorty, pushes all in with only 120. Everyone calls and its around to me on the button and i have pkt 7's. I thought about raising it here to just go heads up with the shorty since i was sure he had a weak ace, but its only 7's and someone could come over me and i wouldn't be able to call. So all-in, i don't think so, so i limp hoping to catch my 7. the big blind however does push all in with about 2200. Was he doing what i was going to do? I don't know, but there was really no way i was going to call. Even if he was bluffing, i thought "good bluff". He got the desired action until the small blind calls...couldn't believe it when he turned over 9's...what the hell, he had played so well and now he was about to lose 2000 on 9's. the big blind turns over k's (so no bluff) and the shorty has his weak ace with my 7. And wouldn't u know it, a 9 on the flop. Of course he goes nuts thinking he made the right play and now could do no wrong.
needless to say when the game broke up, the pocket 9's was left with a little more than 300 (no, its not a typo). Yup, he thought he could run the table with his stack, but instead he gave it back to us. I left for the morning pretty happy with what i made but still couldn't and never will understand how the hell he made that call...
