JJ on the button, and the UTG shows a effing big tell…. (1 Viewer)

[bonesnjnts]

okay..this has been a major couple of days for me..so bear with me

why is it a big couple of days you might ask..?

1. my son came into town with his 7 month preggers wifey..that belly is ginormous and he tells us the name of the boy
2. I was served papers of intent today.
3. I cannot stop eating shit.

okay..time for the hand

 

[bonesnjnts]

the game is .25/.50
everyone thinks they are great players, and honestly, except for a couple of guys, they are right

i came to the game late—about 45 min late and already the usual short stacks are short and the ballers are smirking

we’ve been playing together about 3 years..
i’ve won the yearly tournament the past year..the first year i played i came in 2nd because i couldn’t play all the games, and this past year, in defense of my title, i was only able to play twice out of 8 times. my home life was on fire, and i just couldn’t make it to the game. the 2 tournys i played I won, and in fact, paid for my entry fee —plus
what a crappy feeling, giving the trophy to the winner this year

yeah. i brag.

okay okay the hand.

More interested in the details of the first post.

 

[bonesnjnts]

I am dealing. I have JJ
UTG- is a solid reg. he can bluff, but his tendency is to play his strong hands to the end, and and sometimes he can fool me. I like to watch everything these days. the cards matter but not as much as every little nuance in the game. the joy is finding and learning about each person at the game. some games i just watch one player the entire night and see what they do.

so…

UTG limps, there are 2 more limpets and it comes to me on the button.

I raise to $3.

 

[bonesnjnts]

stocky—do you have a specific question?

 

[bonesnjnts]

as the UTG looks as his hand, he looks up and turns his head to me,and looks me in the eye.


I have never ever seen this before.

I decide at that moment that I need to know what this means.

 

[bonesnjnts]

I think this raise is pretty standard.
the UTG calls my raise and the 2 other limpers fold.

 

[bonesnjnts]

the flop comes A Q 7 rainbow.

okay—this is where I ask for comments.
I do not care if I win this pot- I want to know what that tell was.

the villain checks.

 

[bonesnjnts]

wait—the villain bets 3.00

 

[bergs]

It's

 

[bergs]

tough

 

[bonesnjnts]

tough

tough is good.
makes me think.

actually the villain checks and I bet 5.
he calls, but thinks before he calls.

 

[bonesnjnts]

the turn is another Q
no flush draws.

 

[bergs]

without having been

okay…more background.

I have been drinking this Balvenie 16.

the villain checks.

His tell was one of these 5 things:

1) a raging erection
2) the two cards he had in his hand and inadvertently flipped over
3) he's wearing 100% reflective eye wear
4) you are a visitor to this planet and our yellow sun gives you special powers, including x-ray vision
or 5)....queueing up my response for number 5 over the next 77 posts, hold on.g

 

[bonesnjnts]

after the Q shows up on the turn, the villain bets 6.00 into a pot of 14.
effective stacks are 40—he covers me

I've been drinking the Quaker State 5/10, and I must say, it's actually not that bad. A bit viscous and sharp on the nose, but very, very smooth.

 

[bonesnjnts]

sorry, but the over/under is 128

Have you considered asking him politely to "get the fuck off me? I'm trying to play cards here, you weirdo"? I see this all the time (villain covers me) and I've never had it happen to me in a cardroom.

 

[bergs]

I'm going to try to hit the exact number to make sure you get your juice (or as Jaclyn Moskow apparently likes to call it, your Jews).

and bergs, to pre-empt the inevitable comment—we should get a room,

Thank you, I needed that

Only if you like under-ripe bananas and take very, immeasurably small, steps.

1) I'm assuming your son is an adult and that is wife is also an adult and is 7 months pregnant. The alternative is that your son (age undetermined) got a 7 year old girl pregnant, but at least he married her and made an honest toddler out of her.

2) What are papers of intent (I'm actually asking, no joke in serious thread, I don't know what this is)?

3) Plus breath aid!

Are you sure he thought about it? Did you have him hooked up to machines that measured brain activity, like actual neurons firing across synapses?

I have to ask...is there a game named Nooker that plays in your game? I think we know him. Or rather, Bergs thinks he knows Nooker.
