Why I Play Like A Donkey...

Hello Puerto Rico. You have a casino in the hotel? Well... Don't Mind If I Do.


So I sit down to play poker. 2-5 no limit. I buy in for $200, and the dealer looks at me funny, like I bought in for too much. Wow... This should be fun.


So there's 7 players including myself. I fold 10+ hands straight, even when I was in the blinds and a raise was presented.

Ya know... tight? Right?

But it does give me time to read the table a bit. Anytime there are high cards, people in the hand call all the way down and b et big. Best hand I've seen is two pair, hit on the river.

So I'm in middle position and get delt rockets. Pockets aces. Wow wee!!

So, I raise to 25. It's been the standard blind that everyone has raised, and everyone has been calling on.

call, fold, fold fold, fold, call. WTF? Every other time everyone is calling, now they fold to me.

Fucking tight playing.

So... Flop comes out 3 9 King rainbow. Perfect. I know one of these guys has to have a king. Likely A-K, K-J, yada yada.

Check, Check, To Me.

I raise to 50. 2/3 the pot. I want them in but don't want to scare them too much. Normally I'd go half the pot because I know I'm in the pot and want to lure them in. But, I know I can get more.

Blind folds. Last guy calls.

Next card is garbage. Check to me. All in for the lasst of my $200.

And Call.

He shows A-K. FANTASTIC!!! Called it, knew it, and got the most out of my chip stack by bringing all of his chips in.

Oh, but wait. There's still the river. Eh... 8% odds at this point. 2 cards make his hand (the 2 last kings that could be in the deck).

Here comes the river.

King.

Fuck you Poker Gods.
