Home Games - Taking candy from ...

It's fun playing poker with people who don't care about money. Rather, it's just fun to have cards in my hand again. Just cleaned up a quick home game with my poker set that I've had for a year and have used once prior to tonight. 20$ + 1 R, went very quickly .. Three big hands ..

First QQ finds me UTG and I raise, called twice.

Flop comes As Qs 3s. Nice. So I lead, Gal to my left doubles my bet and puts herselft almost all in. I throw in the extra chips and before we even get our cards turned up the dealer of the hand turns up the 3d. She ends up showing me Ts 6s and she's the first player out.

Next was KQo. My buddy who had let himself get brutally short pushed it in, the other guy who was playing ATC all night called and I called. The board ran out something like 5J28Q and my KQ beat out Q6 and Q6 ... lol. 2nd player out.

The final hand of the match I had a monster K3 and checked my option to see J23 flop. ATC guy was making noises like he had nothing but would call so I put him all in and he turned up AK. I held off the 3 aces and won myself a nice little pile of 20's.

Physical reads make the game SO much easier its not even funny. I want to take money to a casino soooo badly but I'm just not rolled for even the smallest of games. I could play out of my bankroll and hope for the best. If I variance it all off life goes on.

I want to get a regular home game going, but I have the feeling I'd have to deliberately loose somewhat regularly to keep the attendance respectful, which sucks. Apparently one of my friends placed 3rd in a big tournament that happens once a year in this city .. so maybe I'll get him in too.

Anywho, I'm just happy and ranting cuz I got to play cards and I won a bit of cash. haha.

Cheers
