I shoot up to Ho Chunk Casino (about a 40 min drive). I miss my exit, and the delay causes me a 2 hour delay in sitting down. I was literally seconds behind the guy who took the last seat at the 1/2 NL table. At Noon, I finally get seated at a second table. About 1 hour into my play, I get a message from my son's school nurse that he has a fever and needs to be picked up... Crap!!!!
What do I decide to do? Of course, play one last orbit until I hit the blinds. Parent-of-the-year award comments are completely justified!
I’m sitting on ~ $360 on a $150 BI. Next hand I’ll hit the blinds, so I’ve decided this is my last hand. I’m in the CO and look down at
, I actually said to myself “crap, these are going to get me into trouble…”
It’s limped to me (3 callers), and I lead out for $10. Dealer (sitting on $600) pumps it to $20.
An older guy in MP goes all-in for around $50 (hmm, but he limped?). I call, and the dealer calls.
I’m first to act, and declare a blind check. Flop comes
. The dealer announces All-in, and I’m actually kinda stumped. I know I’m calling, but I am trying to figure out how the dealer is planning to suck out on me… With my luck, I’m getting felted on my last hand, I know it… lol. Board runs out bricks, my set holds. Dealer shows 
for middle set. MP mucks. Booya!
One question about my play. Pre-flop, I debated the idea of raising the MP's shove to try to protect my hand. It worked out good that I didn't, but I don't want to be results oriented (I want to make the right decisions). I asked myself, what will I do if the dealer shoves behind me (preflop)? My read on the dealer was that he'd flat or fold, not raise (but you never know). he didn't seem excited about MP's all-in. How do people feel about my flat call here?
