As suggested, after a night of drinking and strip club debauchery I roll into the Bellagio around 3am for a late night session of 2-5 NL. Buy in for the max and buckle up for a crazy game of poker folks... if youre looking for action you definitely found the right place.
The session through 3-4 hours feels more like a roller coaster ride than anything else. My stack swells and then seeemingly dwindles through each revolution we take. Notable hands are plenty but after struggling to put together a decipherable sheet of notes its unclear to exactly whats happened at this point when this monster hand comes up.
Im sitting with 8 hundered invested in the game and about 600 behind and dealt Kj off in middle position. Action to me in an unraised pot and I decide to bump it up to 20 or 25 straight. I get 2 callers and 3 of us head to the flop and see 3d 7s 8s... Its checked to me so i decide to check and hope for check raise if bet and hopefully take the pot down here. Like clockwork player in the cutoff fires out for 35, lady UTG flat calls. I decide my play here is check raise so I bump it up to 125 and get 2 callers. Yikes... Here i decide I'm mostly done with the hand but we'll see what develops on the turn. Turn is a non-spade rag so i think excellent card for me (like any half-drunk action junkie would think right?)... its checked to me and i decide to fire one more time at this already decent pot. I fire 250... and without alot of time or thought get 2 callers. At this point im sick to my stomach and definitely done with the hand. River is another non spade rag and it gets checked to me one more time... I said earlier that im done with the hand but look down to see that villians only have 100 left in respective stacks and decide to put them in. Guy in the cutoff says he doesnt have a hand... not even a high card and i ask him how he got to this point in the hand. Mentions something about how this would be the sickest call ever and eventually calls. WOman UTG folds without much thought and I announce I have king high... Cutoff tasbles his j9s for jack high and i take down this 1600 pot. Shocked and stunned about what just happened I cash out and take the last available seat in the 9am satellite for the 1k 2pm tourney. More to come from a binion's tourney and a crazy session of 1-2 NL that seemed more like 5-10 at O'sheas. SOrry this got so long.

  1. It pays to be drunk. Unless you're me...

  2. I want in on that game, how can you play this hand so poorly... A non spade rag came on the turn?!?!?! ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Any "rag" cards can make a straight, which I'm sure someone has a straight draw here 80% of the time..
