2 Crazy Endings To 2 Home Games


Recommended Posts

Ok we just had a crazy ending to a poker game tonight and I remembered one from before as well and I thought Id share.First one was last week and it was a small buy in SNG home game of like 7 players. I got down to heads up with one of my buddies and he had a 8000 to 6000 chip lead with 50/100 blinds.We didnt really move for a while in chip counts until this hand came up.Hero Button A10o raise to 400BB callsFlop 345 rainbowBB bets 500Hero calls I wanted to see an A or 10 or just float him to bluff the turn cuz he seemed weak.Turn QBB bets 700Hero raise to 1700BB raises to 3500I think about it for a whiel and think he is bluffing so I rebluff all in.He thinks for a while and even with how much was in there he folded leaving him very low in chips.He shows J high and I show him A high. I guess I was ahead but it reminded me of the hand on tv with Ivey with all the rebluffs. Anyways i took him out next hand with 910 suited AIPF and I turned a straight.On to the 2nd game which happened tonight.It took a long time to get down to 3 handed.Vilain 1 4000Villain 2 8500Hero 1500Villain 2 gained his lead through bad beats and huge all in bluffs.Well we played slowly until I start playing a game of crazy eights with one of the busted players and Im barely paying attention to poker since I just lost a huge pot. i built my stack up to about 3000 just to lose most of it on a bluff to villain 1.Villain 1 6000Villain 2 7000Hero 1000Blinds 50/100Villain 1 calls on buttonVillain 2 callsHero checks BB (10 4o)Flop 4 8 j rainbowVillain 2 bets 200hero calls because villain 2 bets every potVillain 1 foldsTurn 9Villain 2 bets 300Hero pushes all in because he thinks villain 2 has nothingVillian 2 calls and has JKRiver 7He gets all mad even though he bad beats people all the time.This is the hand where things get a little wierd.Villain 1 8000Villain 2 4000Hero 2000Hero on Button calls with KQoVillain 1 raises to 300Villain 2 foldsHero callsFlop Kd 5s 7sVillain 1 bets 200Hero CallsTurn 4sVillain 1 checksHero bets 300Villain 1 raises to 1200Hero goes all in for 300 moreVillain 1 says he was bluffing and thinks about folding for 300. i thought he had a spade draw low or a pair. I really felt he was gonna river me too. He thought forever and I told him i had a K. He finnally folded saying he prolly would have rivered me. He had J7 and river woulda been a J. He got a little mad. I said how dont you call that small of a raise with a pair even if you are beat.Very wierd stupid fold.Anyways the craziness continues.Villain 1 6000Villain 2 4000Hero 4000Hero on button JJ raises to 400Villain 1 callsVillain 2 pushes all inVillain 2 bluffs all in a lot. Pushes to win pots and rarely has a hand in this situation. So I call the massive overbet with JJ.Hero callsVillain 2 instacallsIm like wtf wow does he have AA or KK.We flip out cards.Villain 1 KKVillain 2 QQHero JJBoard ran out 2 4 8 K 10Like wow cooler hand for sure. Anyways it reminded me of the hand from a british poker show where the guy folds KK preflop and AA takes out QQ.We were drawing dead on the turn. The funny thing was the 3 handed play went on for a few hours and was slow and grueling. Then in 3 quick hands it all ended with 3 high PPs going all in. ive only ever seen that once before tonight. Anyways those are my two home game stories from these 2 weeks I just wanted to tell them because they were pretty odd and amazing.

How can you type TTIWWP? Who sits there and takes pics of their home games? lolAnyways yes this did happen and I was amazed to see it. im kind of still dissapointed that the Q or J didnt hit to make it more exciting.

While I usually don't like these stories as I find them pretty standardly pointless, I will post hand analysis.

First one was last week and it was a small buy in SNG home game of like 7 players. I got down to heads up with one of my buddies and he had a 8000 to 6000 chip lead with 50/100 blinds.We didnt really move for a while in chip counts until this hand came up.Hero Button A10o raise to 400BB callsFlop 345 rainbowBB bets 500Hero callsI wanted to see an A or 10 or just float him to bluff the turn cuz he seemed weak.Turn QBB bets 700Hero raise to 1700BB raises to 5500I think about it for a whiel and think he is bluffing so I rebluff all in
if you started out with 6k, 400PF+500Flop+5500=6400, so how did you rebluff all in? And on top of that, with that much invested, even if you both had 8k, a rebluff wouldn't get anyone to fold. What you are doing then is instead putting it in with what you perceive to be the best hand.Second situation....T4o hand - If villain folds to shoves, then you should be shoving that flop rather than calling 200 with only 4's where any turn card can help him. KQ hand - he is an idiot, lol.JJ hand - STANDARD.

It looked like they were just holding water guns so my friend told them to F off but they blasted him and the gun was filled with acid. The gang made off with the $30 in cash we had on us and my friend is still in the hospital.Be on the lookout for these guys: japmidgetsoq0.jpg
Couldn't find the crazy so I figured I'd supply my own.

this much of the story seems awful to me. I dont know what kind of home game you guys have, but reminds me of how things started with our group of friends. We had like 6-10 usuals just playing 5-10 dollar buy in freezouts. Got to a point where a friends friend would come and just kept building. Well as it turns out we found that 3 ppl were actually quite talented when it came to dealing. And if they were down to a few chips with lots of ppl or 2-4 handed with chips magically everyone would wake up with something and the dealer would hit a miracle card even if behind preflop. I am not saying this is what happend or if the persons playing are even the dealers, but after multiple hours of 3 handed play.... i wouldnt put it passed some ppl to try and end things quick. needless to say those ppl are not welcome back. But no matter how much you think you know someone, or friends or not its pretty scary knowing what some ppl will do to win just a little money. Hopefully you are just unlucky i guess would be the way to put it.

the whole "hero" and "villian" thing is unnecessary imo...
you're probably correct. home stories work best when people talk about "crazy ernie", or something similar to give the story flavour & texture. 60 seconds to catch our interest, and he baked the story bone dry with mundane labels better suited to a zach hand history.

Sorry it was late when I typed this so it had a few typographical errors. Yes game 1 and 2 had 7 players and 14k in chips total. The 12k was an error. On the 5500 raise it was more like 3500 or 4k anyways it left him almost crippled when he folded to the reraise. Also when I rebluffed so small I thought he had nothing so A high might be good or he folds a hand like J high.The blinds go up when someone gets out usually unless we want it to end at a certain time we do like 20-25min blinds. the reason it was heads up at 50/100 is because it is 2k starting chips then 10/20 blinds. Then as each person went out we go 10/20, 20/40, 30/60, 40/80, 50/100 then heads up should of been 75/150 but we decided to leave it at 50/100 cuz it gave us more play and that game went really fast. That is also why the 2nd game had it at 50/100 at 3 handed like it hsould be.Also about the 104 hand yes I could have bluffed the flop but I was playing a game of crazy eights on th side and not concentrating too much lol.The KQ hand he was obvs idiot for folding.We deal our own hands unless someone gets out then becomes perma dealer. The thing about the magicial hand is that the only one with card trick/dealing skills would be me. Who did in fact deal the hand. but I would never cheat to end a game for a few reasons. Im not a dick, cheating doesnt help when I go to the casino so I should practice playing normally at home, it was my house and I didnt have to wake up early so I didnt care when it ended. Also if I was gonna rig a hand like that dont you think I would have had the KK and won? Instead of losing with the JJ lol.
