After taking a month off from the Dino's game, I finally returned last night. Played for about an hour, lost out a couple big pots to Andy and Ron when they chased their 4-outers and hit, then lost to Ronnie with A-K when Ronnie's A-J flopped a flush...at least I wasn't out first this time, since Stevo took that honor.
Got in the cash game, and was treading water...had to rebuy after Scott cracked my pocket aces with a set of deuces, took a few pots to get back up to only $4 down, then this hand happened:
Triple B (Big Bald Brad) in the SB, Scott in the BB, and Nick with the straddle to 4...Old Dude (he of the "working deuce" theory) limped in, I called with 7-4 of diamonds only because I figured my low cards were the only low ones in the hand, then Jay popped it to 8. Nick called, and since I called 4 before, might as well do it again.
Flop comes A-4-7 with 2 clubs, and this one I bet out and got 2 quick calls. Another club (I think it was a K) hit the board, and Nick bet out 10. Jay and I both called - I'm pretty I'm behind to at least one guy here, but pot is too good to fold now. 4 hits the river, and Nick fires out a bet of 20 ($5, to the uninitiated, since each chip is worth 25 cents). After playing with my chips for a minute, I raise another 40 chips, Jay folds, then Nick semi-reluctantly calls with the nut flush...and sees his bad news, ouch!
Donked off about $11 of chips after that, with about $7 going to Andy when he limped in and then check-called all 3 rounds with pocket aces to beat my 2 pair. Still walked away up $17, so after taking into account my meal and everything, I still made a couple of bucks.
Screw the tourneys, the cash game is more fun :-)

oh yeah andy. I think he's still fuming at me sometimes for cracking his KK with 35o or something like that when I flopped 2 prs. Limping big PPs not good in a loose game like that I think.
