Royal Flush
SAT. night we were playing .25/.50 HOPE. We were currently on a PLO round. $100 max buy in
We are at a full table of regular home players. Most are solid players. We range anywhere from light gamblers to damn near pro's (looking at @ChaosRock ) Most of the table has been playing for several years, to even longer with each other.
My mood is a little different than most nights. I'm reserved, kind of quiet. Some serious family shit is on my mind. @mike32 talked me into coming out for a great dinner and break from the house. He was right. It was a great idea, but my head wasn't in the game as much as usual. Add to the fact that I was horribly card dead. I would say we were close to the three hour mark and I was leaving in about an hour. I played the first three hands of the night. Then not much after that.
I'm in the SB for .25. It limps to me. Were probably 7-8 players in the hand at this point. I look down at A/A/3/6, only one ace is suited and its black.
I complete the BB. Knowing that if I raise I will still be playing with a shit ton of players going into the flop and really crappy position.
Do you do anything different? FWIW, if I raise there will probably still be 5 ish players in the hand.
@Sprouty @Marc Hedrick @mike32 and @ChaosRock are all in the hand. Mike32 is in the BB.
This obviously isn't the fun part of the hand. I'll get to that after lunch.

Paulo, as I continue with the hand. Please correct me if I screw something up in the recollection of how it played it.
