Pretty gross hand last night from my home game. Wanted to put the details out as I thought it was pretty interesting especially from the villains side.
Hero - Pocket 10s ~ $270 stack
Villain - Pocket 9s ~ $190 Stack
Pre flop action was a $4.50 raise with 3 callers. 4 ways to the turn and it came J-9-8. Suits don't matter for this hand and I don't really remember them to be honest. I led the action and wanted to either take the pot down or isolate to one player. I was blocking hands like Q/10 and 10/7 pretty hard and the villain is a tight player so those definitely were not in his range. I led out for $16 and got one caller. Turn card was a 7 so the board was now J-9-8-7 and honestly with pocket 10s I pretty much felt like I had the nuts here. I went with $45 here to setup a shove on the river on any "safe" card. He calls and we go to the river! J-9-8-7.......10.
What. The. Fudge. I check in case he has a hand like pocket queens and he quickly checks back for a good old choppy chop. I had a few other tilting rivers this night and got kicked in the nuts pretty hard on some big pots but still cleared a $230 profit. Guess I should be happy *shrugs*.
