Now With K10

There was a drunk LO on my right, he showed me his cards when squeezing them about a third of the time despite my warning.

This time he had a 7. He opened for 20$ from mp I called him. The tight but a bit weak player called me on my left. A good player called, an SS on the button shoved for his 50$. blinds fold, the LO called the 50, I did. The player on my left shoved and the good player folded.

Then to my surprise the LO folded too.

So now I have K10o. with 170 left. The ss, me, LO, and SS all have put in 50 so far. the good player who folded to the shove put in 20$. that 220$ in dead money. So it is 170 + 220 = 390:170 odds.

I have K10o with 170 left behind. The price was right. As it worked out the player on my left had a medium pair or so he said. The butto mucked saying he had suited connectors. I won on a A Q 10 xx board.

I took AA-QQ out of the shovers range because he would have reraised pf. Or so he should have. It looke like a medium pair after the flat and then the shove. But you never know. You can make it a correct call vs a bad call depending on how you pick the ranges for poker stove.

It was about even when I used regular ranges, of course that was the entire pot. I guess I should look for side pot vs main pot.

That being said, I shouldn't have called the 20$ because their were too many people to act behind me.

How Did I Manage This

I've been rolled up 5 times today in the 1 cent ante stud game losing 3 of them. But the variance doesn't mathcup to NLHE.

I went to CAZ to check out the thursday night action. There was a 45ish woman with a man in a suit standing behind her having a good time. She later explained that he was her driver. Okay.

Suprisingly she was not responsible for this hand. In fact the passive table played it when she got up for a break.

Someone put out a straddle. A couple players limped in. I had K7s in hearts and limped from the button. sb limped. bb completes. Straddler makes it 60, which should end it for me but the limpers called. I am facing 50 to call and I have 240 left in my stack.

With the callers I am getting more than 4:1 so I called. The sb then went all in for about 450 total. SURPISE.

The bb folded. odd.

The original limpers called. They do like to call.

I was stacking my chips and the small blind said "c;mon and gamble, the odds are great."

I called.

The board came out K K 10 8 6 10.

The SB had A10o. One of the limpers had 10 8o. They chopped a an okay side pot while I got he main. I actually think I got stiffed a bit because I finished the hand with 950$. I think the bb original raise (and he later folded) wound up in one of the side pots.
