Read around and you’ll find lots of accounts of playing no-limit ring with other poker bloggers. It’s all fun and games until someone loses his stack. These games are sometimes a little nuts. Someone, somewhere, always<\/em> feels obligated to go big with the hammer. Oh, Grubs<\/a>, what have you done to us?
\n
\nI think this was an interesting early moment:<\/p>\n

Holding Jc 2c in the big blind and I flop the flush with [ Kc, 8c, Qc ] on the board. I’ve got the second nuts and bet out $2. This is raised to $4 and called in one place. I reraise to $12 and get called by both.<\/p>\n

The turn is the 7h and I start telling the story:<\/p>\n

StudioGlyphic: Film geek<\/a> was telling me a story
\nStudioGlyphic: bets (14.6)
\nStudioGlyphic is all-In.
\nStudioGlyphic: Someone flopped the flush
\nStudioGlyphic: He had the Ace draw
\nStudioGlyphic: River came, no help
\nStudioGlyphic: Down 200 bucks
\nPauly: lol
\nGuy #1 folds.
\nStudioGlyphic: Down in Commerce
\nGuy #2 calls (12)
\nGuy #2 is all-In with the ace of clubs.<\/p>\n

Sure enough, the river is the [ 5s ] and I net a big pot. Unfortunately I think Guy #2 was a fellow blogger, though I’ve never read him. I really wanted Guy #1 to call and bust out, since he was just some jerk-off who happened to be at our table. Oh well.<\/p>\n

I happened to be playing my MultiPoker persona this evening, so there was a lot of guessing as to who this mysterious “Cindy” was…<\/p>\n
