   Latest Cash Game

   Mega Pot

   Friday night was a pretty good game, I bought in for the most with 35, just above Jonas with his 30 dollar buy in. After folding for the 1st 20 hands or so I stole a pot when I flopped a flush and straight draw. In the cutoff position I pick up I started the hand with exactly my buy in amount of 35. I make it 2 dollars to go after 1 limper entered the pot. Matt the shortest stack goes all in for $5.50 Josh calls and the guy who limped makes it $15.50 to go. Now I am thinking, I have only 2 options at this point If I call and see an overcard most likely I would not be able to call an all in. If I re raised all in here there is a good chance I can be heads up with Matt. I have a good chance of making an additional 10 dollars with the others folding. At worst I would be in a coin flip or a 4-1 dog with facing an over pair. I ended up re raising all in. The original limper insta calls out of turn might I add, ( Which to me you would think he would have Aces or Kings) Josh actually called partly because it was a huge pot. Now time to show everybody's hands, Matt the shortest stack had Josh had and the other guy who insta called had which was a shocker to me after the hand he told me that he thought I had AK. the board showed three 6's an Ace and a 7 giving me the winning full house and an over 100 dollar win.

   Later Stages

   Later in the game I limped in with on the button. I flopped top pair and a straight draw in need of a 9 to complete my straight. Jonas called my $2.00 dollar bet on the flop and also called my $3.00 bet on the turn. The river brings a giving me trips he bet's all in and I called he had a full house with he ended up catching a 1 outer to have me call his 15 dollar all in crazy how that can happen.

   Food for thought

   With this win of 60 dollars at the end of the night I have recovered just over half of my losses from last week. Stay tuned my next post should be about a La Center run for the 1st time in almost 3 months at the good ol 4-40 spread game. Take care and may all your pots be monster.

   • Got it. Yeah, usually I wouldn't suggest getting everything in preflop 3 ways with that hand, but it seems like these players will be in with much worse cards very regularly. Awesome! Playing that game once a week and finding some other ways to build the roll seems like the right play.

     Can't wait to hear about the La Center trip.

   • I just edited the entry saying that I did go all in pre flop. I think your right the best move with that hand in this game is to get your money in and see what happens it has worked 2 out of the last 3 times. I am not saying that I don't want to play in this but we are only able to get 1 of these about once a week. And yes you will hear about my La Center run soon.

   • Forgot to say congrats on the win, though. Too bad about that last full house against ya. Keep building the roll patiently, man. Good work.

   • I have a hard time following the action. It seems you went all in preflop, but it didn't actually say that. How different is this hand from the pocket jacks you talked about on the forum? It seems like you thought it might be better to just flat-call in that situation. However, this situation might be different - it was already obvious everybody wanted their money in... with very suspect hands, no less. I guess the right way to play against those people is to get your money in as soon as possible. And you were thinking about playing less of this cash game. You're crazy!

     I look forward to hearing about your La Center run. Play tight!
