Low Stakes On-Line Poker

So I sign on to Full Tilt last night and start playing a few sit and go’s. Busted out of the first one 5th. It really wasn’t the smartest move. I was in the small blind holding pocket 9’s and there was a raise from the button. The thing is, this guy had been raising just about every time he had the button. I had been playing pretty tight. So, my thought was- if I come over the top he will let it go. He was probably sitting on some marginal hand, would see a raise from a fairly tight player, and wouldn’t want to double me up.

Well, as soon as I pushed he insta-called. For a second I thought I was good. Maybe he had a dry ace, but then his cards show up on my screen- he was sitting on cowboys, and that’s pretty much all she wrote!

So naturally I signed into another sit and go. I sat there in amazement of the first hand. Here is how it went down. I was in the big blind (seat 3) with a Jc 10c. The player in seat 5 puts in a min-raise (60 to go). Seat 7 re-raises to 160. Seat 8 flat calls. I sadly let go of my J 10 suited (one of my favorites). The action gets back to seat 5- he flat calls. Total pot of- 525. Here is the flop-

6c 6d 9d

Seat 5 bets out 225. Seat 7 Raises to 500. Seat 8 calls the 500. Seat 5 calls the remaining 275. For a total pot of 2,025. The turn-

10s

Everyone checks around after the turn. The pot is still 2,025. The river-

4c

Seat 5 bets out 300. Seat 7 pushes all in. Seat 8 flat calls. Seat 5 calls. I am dumbfounded. I know there are at least 2 donkey players that are about to get busted but which two. It turns out they are all idiots. Here is what they had-

Seat 5- pocket 4’s. He ended up rivering a boat- 4’s full of 6’s.

Seat 7- Who turned out to be Mr. “I play every hand” showed a 6 9 off suit. He flopped a boat- 6’s full of 9’s. (Remember he re-raised an early position bet pre-flop with a 6 9 off-what a donk).

Seat 8- This guy was an even bigger idiot than the other 2. He shows an AhQh. That’s right….hearts. He had no pair and no draw. AND a lot of action in front of him. What a freakin’ idiot!! I guess he was hoping to get lucky, and then just got frustrated and pushed the rest of his stack in when he didn’t hit a thing!!


Needless to say the play on this table was beyond horrible. But hey…that is low stakes on-line poker for you!!
