So here I am, it’s 11pm and I just got done playing some on line poker. I am still not brave enough to start putting in real money so I am at the “play money” tables on . Of course the downside to this is that when people are playing with play money, they tend to act like it’s play money. They get crazy on a starting hand of 4 7 off suit. Well, I thought I had found a good table and things were looking good for me, I was up about 700 chips. Low and behold I get a Queen 6 off suit. It’s not great, but enough to make me want to see the flop. (it is only play money after all). Sure enough I get another 6 on the flop. I raise a bit and it’s enough to get some of the others to fold out. When it’s not a sure thing I only raise a little. Just enough to say “I have a pretty good hand.” Well, the guy across the table calls me. Turn card comes out as a queen. I now have 2 pair of the highest cards on the table. I raise a good amount. He raises me back. I raise him again and he calls. River card is a 9. I Raise again, a lot, and he calls it. I show my 2 pair, he shows me his one pair.
Most of these on line places have a chat block. I hardly see people use it, but sometimes it’s nice to get a chatty table. After the hand I type in
me:“I tried to warn you”
him: “I know”
Fast forward to later in the game. I get a jack 6 off suit. Again, enough to get on the board. I am tall stacked at the moment so why not. Flop shows 3 heart cards, and I have jack of hearts. I call, so as to not be aggressive. Sure enough the turn is a queen of hearts. High card out there was an ace, but no one was betting like they had aces. So I raise. Same guy raises my raise. How here I am looking at an ace high flush, I have the jack in my hand and the queen is out there. I am going over in my head “could he have a pair of aces? Even if he had a three of a kind I beat that. I call him and the river comes out. Was a spade of something. I raise, he raises me again. Ok, so these on line places don’t give you long to think so here I am trying to figure him out. His raise means if I call I am All-In. I sigh and take the chance. The cards come up and guess what he has………
King of hearts.
We both have flushes. My jack is whats holding me up, his king brings him the pot. After the hand clears, the chat lights up with a message from him.
Him: “I tried to warn you… 🙂
me: “I Know… ):”
