I guess I would be remiss if I didn't talk about my LL bet with kyzersosa1 here on P5s. The thread about it has now reached almost biblical proportions and I would strongly recommend checking it out. I'm thinking about making the thread into a book because it's just such a hilarious read. However, it was brought to my attention that how this whole thing got started was never really talked about. So I figured the best use of my blog this week would be to tell the story of how kyzersosa1 and I became such fast friends.
Part of my nightly MTT routine is the $2K Guaranteed $4.40 FLHE MTT on Stars. Last week I was playing in the event and kyzersosa1 was at my starting table. On the second level we got into a pretty solid hand.
UTG+1 I pick up AA and raise. MP player 3-bets and kyzersosa1 calls cold. The BB caps the betting which obviously I'm happy about and I make the call along with the two other players. The flop comes down:
KJ3 rainbow
I bet into the flop and again the same actions happens. MP 3-bets, kyzersosa1 calls cold, BB this time calls and I cap it, calls all around. The turn comes out:
5 still a rainbow board.
BB checks, I bet, MP folds, kyzersosa1 calls, BB folds. River comes down.
8
I bet and kyzersosa1 calls. I show the AA and take down the hand.
I checked out the HH so see what exactly was in his hand there, thinking it must be something like a KQ and he just got caught up in a spot he shouldn't have been in. Turns out he had a K..................................................................................................................
...................................................................................................................
.....................................................6 suited in diamonds.
This guy called 3 bets cold twice with K6dd and then top pair no kicker on the flop. I put a note on him saying he'll pay me off with TPNK and moved on with the hand. About 15 minutes later he proclaims to the table that we are the biggest bunch of idiots he has ever seen play poker and that the deck was just bailing us out.
Now normally I let crap like this go. It's a $4.40 MTT, first prize is a whopping $412 and change, it just doesn't normally seem worth it to get into it with a guy who is clearly the fish at the table. Let him think he's just getting unlucky, then he continues to play badly, and donks off his stack with another crappy hand. I still don't know why I decided to get into it with him but I for whatever the reason I felt the need to try and put him in his place and I said something to the effect of, "Buddy, I just 10 mins ago put a note on you saying you were the worst player at the table. You got money in on two capped streets with K6dd and paid me off the entire way. Stop talking."
Yes I know it's like talking to a wall. Yes I know that this is never going to shut someone up. Yes I know this was not the smartest move I have ever made, not that it costs me anything, but it wastes my time and it lets the fish know he's my mark. What I did not know was that the argument would turn into the 110+ post thread you now can all see and read. I posted the convo about the bet just to get a rise out of him, my buddy Freewill1978 just responded "expect to just get flamed" which I was strangely ok with because to me the entire thing was a joke anyway. I never in my wildest dreams thought I would ever hear from this guy again after he busted in the MTT.
Sometimes, people really are as stupid as they sound. Even if he never pays me the $50, I have gotten at least that much in entertainment value reading his posts. And that ladies and gents is the story of my thread:
