Apparently I'm really good at poker
So every Wednesday we have an intern poker game, usually $0.10/0.20 no limit game, max $10 buy-in. I lost $20 the first week, won a $5 tournament w/ buy-ins the next week for $36 (net 26, +6 for the year), and then last week won about $62 because I got really hot. So I'm thinking this week I'll be pretty lucky to break even by the end of the night...
Well, there were a few bad plays, but let me give you a sample of some of the ridiculousness:
Preflop someone goes all in after my reraise and also gets a call, it only costs me about $6 more (my raise was about $5 with 66). Of course I run into AA and 88. Flop gives an 8, but then the turn gives me an open ended straight draw, and of course I draw out. +$20 there.
And then after that, I get 99 on the big-blind and raise and get two callers. Flop comes 223, so I'm pretty sure no one hits. I bet $10, and the guy to my left absolutely flips out, so I'm figuring he doesn't have a big hand, but I know he doesn't think I hit it because I've garnered a reputation for only playing "quality cards', so he probably doesn't have high pair. He goes all in for about $10 more, guy folds and I call. Turns over AK. He hits an A on the turn, and then.... a 9 comes out. Geez...
I'm obviously REALLY talented at poker since I knew I would win those hands in the end.
+60 for the night. Paid for the groceries I just bought. +118 for the year in four sessions.
