It was definitely 'Get the Monkey' night at Dave's this week. I have told you of a little diddy that we do anytime anyone has Aces full or better at Dave's. We have a stuffed monkey that has a whiney scream when you press it's belly any anytime anyone gets a qualifying hand, we flip and squeeze the monkey in honor of their dumb luck. Well, he was getting quite the workout on Tuesday at Dave's this week. One of the guys there, Romey (sp?), in a period of about 5 hours in a 9 handed game received and played QUADS 4-5 times and one straight flush! I'm sure there's a leprechaun with a sore sitter somewhere.... I've never seen anything quite like it! The hand of the night.... Dave has built (at one point) a stack of over $2,000 in a $200 buy-in no limit $2-$4 game! Amazing! Romey has been building his stack as well (as you would expect with the quads and the straight flush) and has nearly $1400 in front of him. Fortunately, my stack wasn't involved with either.... LOL. At any rate, Dave has pocket 5s and Romey has pocket 3s. There is a pre-flop bet (of course) to about $20 and there are several callers. The flop comes K, 5, 3.... Romey bets $30 with his set of 3s. Dave won't stand for this and raises it to $200 with his pocket 5s. Of course, that kills all the other action back to Romey who casually goes all in for about another $1400! He then says that he is trying to be kind and save Dave some money! LOL. Dave asks him ... "Do you have Kings?" When Romey says no, Dave immediately pushes all in. They turn their cards over and Romey is without question... the underdog. There's only one 3 left in the deck. Dave is ecstatic and very excited .... even when J-rod (the dealer) delivers that fourth and final 3 on the river! LOL. Dave immediately begins trying to build support for his full house, but of course the quad 3s wins out and Dave quietly pushes his entire stack of over $1200 over to Romey who is somewhat apologetic, but extremely happy with hitting his one outer!
Oh well... just another night at Dave's!
