Session 20

I've been working on taking better notes during and after my sessions; I've found that although I can remember sessions pretty well, I do often forget bet sizing and button position when it comes time to write this blog or go over hand analysis with friends.

That being said, my notes on this session bring the action at this table back to the forefront of my mind...there was none. The table was a complete dud, for some reason table 21-23 are often like that, there's no real explanation for it, or proof that it's even true. It just seems that way.

So I grinded out a small win and was ready to leave when Bully1 took a seat in the 1 and Bully2(his friend) took a seat in the 5. They had been sent over from a broken table and both had a decent amount of chips in front of them, and both had been drinking...heavily. JACKPOT!

The fireworks started as soon as Bully1 picked up a hand, bet 3 streets, got called on the river and threw a fit because his opponent(an ameristar dealer) wouldn't show his hand first.

Opponent: "I called you Bully1, show your hand"

Bully1: "I don't have anything, I have a 10"

Opponent: "Then either muck it or show it!"

Bully1: "I don't want to show it, stop slowrolling me you douche!"

Bully2:"Yeah, stop slowrolling"

Opponent: "I called and would like to see your hand..."

So now Bully1 is pissed and someone is going to pay for it. He proceeds to play every hand for a bit and in the process loses another chunk of his stack.

On his final hand, he is the BB. Action is folded to Bully2 who makes it $6 to go. A very silly and strange raise in live play. I look down at pocket 10's in the cut off and choose to just call, hoping that Bully1 will jack it up a bit. I get my wish, folded to Bully1 he makes it $15(another silly raise). Bully2 calls, and I raise to $60. Bully1 gives me a look, goes on a 30 second tirade about how rude I am and calls, Bully2 follows suit. $180ish in the pot heading to the flop

10h,6s,8h

Bully1 tells me he is going to teach me a lesson and shoves all in, Bully 2 says "me too" and he moves all in as well. I call with top set. 8 on the turn gives me a boat, blank on the river.

Bully1 says nothing, pays me off picks up his remaining $20-30 bucks and he and Bully2 leave the poker room.

I push Kim(the dealer) a larger than normal tip as the table breaks.
