Cocky Gits

 I love and hate cocky gits at the poker table – especially online cos you know half of them wouldn’t dare to say a thing if it was live.  I have to admit I can be just as bad as the rest of them but hey – its my blog so I can slate them if I want!

 

Playing a $30+$3 on party - $35k guaranteed so a fairly big tourney.  Started to feel I was getting a bit bullied at the table – one guy had already pushed me off a winning hand – I had 910 and had limped.  Flop came 9107, I bet and got one caller.  Turn comes a J – any 8 makes a straight but there are also 3 clubs now.  I thought this guy was drawing with the flat call on the flop so I checked the turn (the J made most draws), he checked behind me.  I thought I smelt a trap so put out a small bet on the river (blank) and he raises me big.  I fold and he shows pocket queens.  Damn.

 

I take a few chips off him with KQ (paired K) when he has pocket 8’s and he pushes me off a couple more with raises.  I decide I want to make a stand at the table.  So when another guy raises 3 times big blind, I call with 67 hearts to mix it up a bit.  BB also calls.  Flop 67J, two clubs.  I think yay!  BB checks, original raiser bets 500 (Pot is about $1k in chips).  I don’t want anyone drawing so I raise to 1500, to which the guy responds ‘No soup for you’ and goes all in.  I call of course.

 

He has aces and obviously thought they were invincible.  Turn comes another 7 giving me a boat, I take all his chips and tell him ‘No soup for you I think’
