The "Other" Deuce Fo'

I open up FT and am greeted by the creepiest avatar I’ve ever seen:

Whoa now Full Tilt! No disrespect to whoever the FT pro is, but wow that is a creepy ass cartoon version of you!

Coming soon!

I’m scared/excited/giddy/overjoyed/??/yes!

Time to put on your thinking caps and really kick things up to a new level!

100bb effective.
Btn opens for 2.5x
I fold in SB.
BB makes it 12.5x
Btn folds.

BTN: thats absurdly enormous
2fouroffsuit: That’s what she said
BTN: lol

It’s December, there’s snow on the ground and 4 cards in my hand…

Holy majoles! Today would probably been a great day to play… but I had to refrain because I was too full to think clearly and play my A+ game. My D- game would probably have been enough to beat the bored, slightly drunk off wine, stuffed to the brim, recreational players that no doubt hopped online while digesting their food, but really my only motivation was that I was bored (not to mention slightly drunk off wine, stuffed to the brim and trying to digest my food).

When these thoughts were going through my mind I just kinda had to laugh at myself and the irony of it all. While there were theoretical $‘s left on the table, I am pleased and that’s what actually matters.

• RIVER * [Td 7c 7d 4s] [Ts]
  2fouroffsuit bets $136.70, and is all in
  MCF0820 has 15 seconds left to act
  MCF0820 calls $112, and is all in
  Uncalled bet of $24.70 returned to 2fouroffsuit
• SHOW DOWN *
  2fouroffsuit shows [Ah Th] a full house, Tens full of Sevens
  MCF0820 mucks
  2fouroffsuit wins the pot ($380) with a full house, Tens full of Sevens
  MCF0820 is sitting out
• SUMMARY *
  Total pot $382 | Rake $2
  Board: [Td 7c 7d 4s Ts]
  Seat 2: MCF0820 (button) mucked [As 4c] – two pair, Tens and Sevens
  Seat 3: 2fouroffsuit (small blind) showed [Ah Th] and won ($380) with a full house, Tens full of Sevens

MCF0820: &&%% off

Last night I was playing a super turbo SNG on Full Tilt, shoved A8c with about 5bb left and got called in two spots.

One guy had 99. I forget what the other guy had, but I think it was an overpair or a higher Ax hand.

Flop 3c8d9h.

Fuck. Maybe running clubs….

3c8d9h9c.

YES! NO! shit oh well time to load up another one…

River 3c8d9h9c8c.

WTF? I have A8c in my hand… and then the pot gets shipped to me and somehow both of those players were eliminated.

I am utterly confused… I pull up the hand history and it said:

XXXXX loses pot with whatever.
XXXXX loses pot with Four of a kind, nines.
2fouroffsuit wins pot with Five of a kind, eights.

I open an email to email Full Tilt. I still can’t believe this is happening, I’m trying to figure out what to say and then I wake up. Weird.

So I tried my hand at the 7 game mix last night and it was pathetic. Fortunately, I ran well enough, but I’m pretty sure that I am awful in all non-big bet forms of poker. For fun I think that I should really put some effort into these as it’s good to mix things up (pun semi-intended). Going to watch some videos, but I think that the DC coaching staff should be on the look out as I am probably still going to need a lot of practice and work on these games. Weeeeeeeeee! Kinda cool going back to being a complete n00b…

Funny hand. Had a pretty specific read on this guy…
