If...

If you have pocket aces in the big blind and nobody calls to see them...

Do you really have pocket aces?


I played the league final event last night. I had one point from before I started working there, so the GM allowed me to play. I started with one of the two shortest stacks and did fine for an hour, doubling up after I'd payed a couple rounds of blinds.

Then I got stupid. Miscalculated odds, a weak kicker and a completely uncharacteristic move from an opponent I know well sealed my fate. Home early, but I had a good time.

It did reinforce that I prefer to play than deal. I really enjoy dealing, and it's setting the foundation for a leadership role in the organization, but I'm much more comfortable as a player than a dealer.

Have a GREAT weekend!

The pocket aces in a walk suck. It happened to me the other night and then a little while later I had them, did a standard raise and stole the blinds...yeah.

Of course, everyone was all over the AKs I had later.

Folds to my pocket Aces would need to be experienced, (actual pocket Aces that is!) in order for me to properly comment on this post.

Have a great weekend yourself!

Either situation is better than dealing a FELLOW DEALER the rockets in a hand that ends up being a mis-deal. (one card hit a chip-stack and flipped, then before dealing the replacement I accidentally dealt the small blind an extra card.)

The dealer playing knew that declaring the mis-deal was correct, but was still (aptly so) ticked.
