Apparently I didn’t have Poker Stars set to record HH’s on this computer, so I don’t have the exact details, but this is from the $200 HORSE tournament. First, the history that set it up:
I raised like A239 or something from UTG+1, SB calls, everyone else folds. Flop is QQ6r, he checks, I figure (based on my very limited knowledge of O/8), that he should mostly have low hands to be calling a raise from the SB. I’m more likely to have a Q or a big pair, so I bet. He calls. Huh. I picked up a low draw on the turn and so it checked it throuh, and then the river blanked, we checked through again, and he had AK63, don’t think he was even suited pre-flop. What do you think this is, fish, Texas Hold ‘Em?
Anyway, a few hands later, I raise AQT3ss, and fish calls in BB. Flop T42r, giving me top pair top kicker and the nut low draw. He checks and calls a bet. Turn K, he checks and calls. River K, he checks and calls, my hand is good. I didn’t even look at what he had, but I did write him this letter:
Dear fish,
Welcome to Valuetown. Population: You.
Sincerely, Foucault
PS Sundays suck. I lost so many crucial coin flips today and ended up with one shallow cash in the Stars Second Chance (TT < AKs) despite accumulating nice stacks in the UB 200K (button misclick calls my resteal with 94s and sucks out on my K5s), FTP 500K (UTG+1 limp-calls 25% of his stack with 33 and flops a set against my KK), Stars Warm Up (AKs < TT), Stars HORSE (AAxx < AJ63 on QJx flop in O/8, then same guy gets rolled up J's in 7-Stud when I make a desperation push), and the FTP Mulligan (TT < AK, AQs < ATs, Q7 < 66, KQ < JJ).
