First High Limit Win


Recommended Posts

Okay I just turned 21 here a few months ago, So I have been going to the local casinos fairly regularly until a month ago. I bought a new bass boat, and a new truck with my winnings over the last 5 months. I prob won upwards of 15k. I have a great job, steady, good benefits and secure, but after buying that stuff I haven't played as much. Well there has been a new game going on with some rich farmers, old doctors, and lawyers . I had been hearing about. I finally got the itch to play. I will admit I was worried about buying in for almost 500$ but I felt that I had enough skill I would succeed if I played my normal tight agressive style. I had a friend help me out even more and he staked me for half my action, or when I doubled my money I could give him his half back. I was a lil nervous because the lowest stack was about 1.3k. I folded the first 4 hand of hold em and picked up a KJ suited on the BB. First to act made it a flat 25$ to play 5 callers, came back to me I figured that I should call with the pot being 150$ I'm getting good odds to call. Flop comes down A Q 10 no flush draw. I flop The Nuts! Original raiser makes it 100$ one guy calls rest fold back to me....I think should I slow play here. I push my chips ALL in...raiser thinks for about 5 minutes calls, other guy folds. He shows A 10 two pair. Turn 9, River 4. I collect a huge pot. Around a thousand dollars. I pay my friend back his half and he is excited for me. So I have around 800 dollars in front of me. Two hands later I pick up 10 10 9 9 all black on Omaha. No raisers pre flop. I call. Flop comes 10h 9c 2d. One guy makes it 40, everyone calls, back to me. I make it 160$. Half the pot. Everyone folds except one guy he raises me the pot. So I re raise him back and I'm all in. Huge pot almost 2k. He shows 2c2h 10d 9d. Hes drawing dead to a flush. Turn 4, Rivers 4. I win another huge pot. I'm up to about 2400 at this point. I hang loose for about 30 minutes back to hold em. I pick up KK on the button. Crazy guy makes it 50$. I make it 200$ to play he calls. Flop comes Ks As 4c. He bets 200$ at me, I think I'm good dbut He could have a flush draw, or he may have called with AA. He smooth call. Turn comes a 4s. Great card for me, great card for him possibly. He moves all in for almost 700$. I think and think. I stutter and say I really think you have j10 of spades, if you had aces you would slow play me from the turn out. I call. I was correct, called the exact hand out. Rivers Qh. I have almost 4100$ infront of me now. I win a couple more small pots and I'm at 5k, in less than 2 hours. I finally call it quits and cash out. To my suprise everyone congratulated me shook my hand asked me to comeback, and told me I was a great player. I figured after busting 2 players out that may not be the case. What I learned...If I would played scared I may have lost $$ . Knowing I had the ability to hang with these guys was what kept my play at my best and heled me win. I also didn't let the $$ get to me and hang around to long. This is the most I have won so far, and was big boost to my bankroll. However, I made a Baloon payment on my truck so now I dont owe but a few thousand on it. I think that honestly I had been playing lower limit to long, and that was hindering my game as I was getting a lil bored, and the players at the higher limit seem to me more crisp. Thanks for reading, Thoughts comments are welcome.

after the first hand where you took the money out, did the other guys see you do it, cause its pretty much understood that all the money has to stay on the table. Was this a horse game or just omaha and holdem.

What I learned...I plan on avoiding everything you post from now until the end of time. This post was so utterly worthless that it actually makes me wish I had decided to do some work instead of slacking off. Nobody likes a brag post when the bragging is about winning hands that the fucking Main Event Monkey could have played right.

To start off with OP, if you going to "FABRICATE" a story like this DO IT RIGHT. I have bolded the "oopsies" you missed.How many 9c are in the deck? If you had 10 10 9 9 all black then the flop could not have had the 9c could it.Other than that, if it were true, you just got lucky.They want you to come back for obvious reasons.

What game is this that you can pay your buddy back from off the table? Also what buddy is this that will book half your action for a loss but let u just give back his money if you make profit, because that sounds like a really good friend.Every pot you won you flopped the nuts or the second nuts, so I would not get too crazy on your ability just yet. Ohhh and this sounds like an exert from Ace on the River.

Wow.Some posters on this Forum really need a class in Class....new guy comes on and posts an experience of which he is apparently excited/proud, and he gets this sort of response - then the "me too" posts start piling on. Amazing really.
