Had some fun at the 1/2 tables with SirFWALGMan. I don’t know how he found this table, but it was fishy as hell! I saw way too many winning hands completing on the river, most of them with no business being in the pot in the first place. The variance was crazy, but I decided to join in and say to hell with the money.

It was a blast.

Oh lordy. I myself had two suckout wins on the river when my TJs (which I raised UTG) made a straight on one hand and my KTs paired the king on another. Two other hands I won with some aggressive bets. On another hand I bet/raised the hammer until someone obviously completed their flush on the river, giving me an excuse to fold and bitch about the suckout fishes.

I had my share of suckout losses, too. My suited big slick was worth 3-betting pre-flop, and apparently someone else’s 39s was worth calling 3 bets pre-flop. The flop gave him no hope of survival, but he stayed in to runner runner flush me out of a big pot. It was that kind of session. And all this in the span of 35 hands!

Luckily that JT suckout straight I made put me into positive territory after SirCOULDIHAVEALONGERORHARDERTOTYPEName decided to quit for the day. He did see that last one, and I was glad to show him. I quit after that as well, though now that I think back on it, if I hadn’t thrown all those chips at the hammer, I would have had a pretty decent win rate. Damn grubby.
