The worst hand is good!

this was the night when the best hand was only good on paper. i couldnt count how many pretty gross suckouts occurred, some being kinda gross with others being downright disgusting.

but, thats poker.

Sean found a way to dodge a few bullets himself on his way to the JV Special victory, read his account of his play here.

the first person knocked out would be none other than the man who created the structure, John. kinda sad that in the John V Special he would be the first one gone, but lemme tell you, it was probably the worst suckout of the evening...

let's recap the hand from John's blog:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FCPC home game. Level 1, blinds T25/25. Stacks at T7000.

Fuel open raises to T100 with QQ
Bob calls from LP
Matt calls from BB

Flop: QJ5

Matt leads T200, I call, Bob calls.

Turn: K

Matt leads very small (T150)
I raise another T500
Bob calls
Matt calls.

Fawk, one of these doucheballs has T9.

River: 5

Nice. Now it's time to take these straight-drawing donkeys to valuetown.

Matt checks
I bet T1000
Bob raises to T3200.
Matt folds.
I shove.
Bob instacalls. Of course he has 55.

Jesus fawk! Out in level 1 two weeks runnings.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
thats pretty gross!

later i would be destroyed by a similarily disgusting display from the poker gods:

Final Table (11 players) blinds 200/400

i call Todd Brunson's (Vin) raise to 1000, Brad calls, a few other callers too

i have 77

flop: 267 sweeeeeeeet!

Brad is first to act and he immediately announces "im all in"
all fold to me, of course i call

Brad shows 78 and grimaces when he sees my cards

but wait Bradley G, lets remember who you are! you lay the worst beats on Earth

turn: 5
river: 9

buh-bye Simon! i saw it coming when the turn 5 hit so i couldnt help but laugh my way to the "loser's" table where a sweet little $20 tourney had just started.

is poker fun or is poker rigged? you decide

DEEPStack next week!
