    Just got back from the local B&M. Put in a 6 hour session in the 15-30 game. About halfway through good ol' Ellix Powers shows up and takes a seat. Immediately the game got interesting. He buys in for a rack and proceeds to dust that off pretty quickly. By his second rack he has changed 3 different seats. I guess it is the luck of the seat to him because it certainly wasn't for a positional advantage. If anything his position relative to the laggys got worse.

    By the time it was all over he had dropped $1200. Mind you this is a 15-30 game. And this wasn't 5 people seeing a 3-bet flop. I was to his left so I felt responsible for taking some of it. For the night I ended up a nice $815.

    Here is one interesting hand played. Not sure if my action on the river was correct:

    Hero limps utg with 88.
    MP calls
    LP calls
    SB (Ellix) raises
    BB calls
    Hero calls
    MP calls
    LP calls.

    5 to the flop.
    Flop is 532 rainbow.

    SB (Ellix) bets
    BB folds
    Hero raises
    MP calls
    LP folds
    SB calls.

    Turn 2
    SB checks
    Hero bets
    MP calls
    SB calls

    River 4
    No flush possible.

    SB checks (He is pissed about that card. Hems and haws a bit but then checks)
    Hero chccks (I hated that card. I could see either guy having a 6 or A)
    MP goes all in (He just came from 1-2NL so we informed him he could only bet $30. He had about $60.
    SB calls (Ellix says he was going to call because he knew he had the best hand)
    So I think I am dead here and fold.
    SB has J5o
    MP has K4o

    I miss out on a decent pot. Just don't see how I should have called.

    Brings back memories. He was hounding Loopy like crazy to back him in some events during the WSOP 2005. I guess he found some poor sucker to back him for your 10/20 game. You should find that backer and thank him. :)
