As a Player: I am wanting to play poker tonight as a Professional Poker Player. I am relaxed (rated 5/5), fairly well rested (rated 4/5), and nothing annoying is on my mind (rated 5/5).
The Conditions: Saturday night, 8:10; the card room is busy, 12 tables are running; and all tables have waiting lists (rated 5/5).
My Stakes: My poker bankroll dictates I play $1/$2 no-limit Hold ‘Em with a $300 maximum buy-in.
My Game Selection: Table #8 is the most favorable game to play (rated 4/5). There is $5,800 in chips on the table (rated 4/5). Players: 1 Professional player, 4 regular players, and 3 poker fish (rated 5/5). Table action: Card playing is rated as average-to-loose (rated 4/5); betting is rated as above average-to-aggressive (rated 4/5).
My Key Decision: I decide to play as a Professional Poker Player. I buy-in for the table maximum, $300.
The Action:
I fold my first 22 hands.
Hand #23:
Seat # 3: Folds.
Seat # 4: Bets $25. (A Very Tight Player)
Seat # 5: Calls $25. (A Very Aggressive Player)
Seat # 6: Folds.
Seat # 7: Folds.
Seat # 8: Calls $25.
Seat # 9 (Me, on the Button): I Fold holding J♣ 9♣.
Seat # 1 (The Small Blind): Folds.
Seat # 2 (The Big Blind): Folds.
Three (3) players are competing for a pot of $82 (less the drop and the rake).
The Flop: 10♥ 9♠ 9♦
The Action:
Seat # 4: Bets $500! (A Very Tight Player)
Seat # 5: Raises All-In to $850 (All-in) !! (A Very Aggressive Player)
Seat # 8: Calls All-In at $722 !!!
Seat # 4: Also Calls All-In at $631!! (A Very Tight Player)
The main pot contains $1,975; with a side pot of $182!
By agreement, all three players turn over their cards.
All Three Hands:
Seat # 4: Turns over A♣ A♥ (A Very Tight Player):
Seat # 5: Turns over A♦ 9♥ (A Very Aggressive Player)
Seat # 8: Turns over 10♦ 10♠.
The Turn: 10 ♥ 9♠ 9♦ A♠.
The River: 10 ♥ 9♠ 9♦ A♠ 2♣.
The worst of the three hands on the flop wins the main $1,975 pot; the side pot $182 is won by Tens Full. What an unjust game: That’s poker.
To understand, in depth how I played this hand (a no-play, a no-brainer, a no-gainer) look for the book:
