Alrighty.... I'm back!

I have been badgered by several poker buddies to start the blog up again and .... against my better judgement, here goes...

Tuesday night at Dave's has turned into more of a dinner and a movie than poker...... 2 plasma tv's running non-stop porn and some of the best eating that I get to do. There are some times that I have to chew and turn away from the tv to keep from gagging. There's some gross stuff on there that you really don't want to see while you're eating, well, anything.

So, to the post, we're playing $2-$4 No Limit Omaha 8 (I know, that can't be right, but it is) ---- I'm the button at an 8 handed table and my cards are Ah, Qh, 2c, 3c.... I like it. Most of the time and I stress MOST of the time we're able to see a $4 flop, but there are 3 guys at the table who will raise for no apparent reason pre-flop. My personal opinion is that there are about 3 hands worth raising pre-flop Omaha 8 with and I think I've seen one of them once in my entire life. At any rate, everyone limps and the flop is 6h, 8h, Kc. Everyone checks to me and I love this flop so I bet a pot builder hoping that one of my miracle cards comes on the turn, $9. Everyone calls. I love it. The turn is 2h! Danger... Will Smith! Everyone checks to me and I bet $30, there are 2 callers and Corey raises it to $60. I push all in for another $340 or so. Dave calls (I have him covered) and Corey has me covered and calls. The side pot with Corey is about $320. I love these callers when I have the old double nut! At any rate, Jared turns the river and it is the 9d and my double nut holds up. It was a very nice pot! I received half for the nut flush and half of the other half with the nut low (Corey had A, 2 also, he got quartered) and good old Dave was drawing to the straight flush (5h, 7h) which thankfully didn't hit! I know, I probaby couldn't have laid it down either.... the old 2 outer! If there is a place on the planet where they DO hit regularly, it is at Dave's! I cashed out early with a tidy little profit.

Welcome back!
