Salisbury West Sports Club & round Tables ???

[Bob B]

I felt like a game last night and decided to venture across the border to Salisbury West Sports Club thinking I could snare an Aussie Millions seat there instead of going all the way to Willaston for the late game.

I walked in the door only to find most of the Parafield Gardens and Para Hills punters there along with Dakota as the TD. It was like old home week catching up with them all. Stamping is pretty fair with a snitzel 3 stamps, any Spirit mix 3 stamps and 2 stamps for a beer and I think softies are 1 stamp.

To my surprise they had round tables ROUND TABLES and when Dakota told us to take our seats, Guess what??????? Most of them wanted to sit in between the cup holders Grrrrrrrr what were they thinking

Anyway our table accepted the challenge that it was easier to agree with me rather than NOT. I got to sit with Allen Mathews on my right (after moving his Budah LOL bad carma) and Michael Smith to my left.

There was really only two highlights to the night and it was in the very first and last hands I played .

First hand I'm BB and get 99 with 5 callers including SB around to me and I raise another $200, 3 callers to make 4 runners. Flop comes K9X making trips for me with 1 high card and a rag. I put Allen on having KX in the SB and he checks, I check #1 player raises $200 #2 calls, SB calls I call.

Turn pairs the board giving me a full house and Allen bets out $100 I reraise another $200 as I didn't want to scare him off and still hoping he had a king in his hand.

Other players fold and Allen calls. River card X Allen checks then looks at me and says "don't you dare Bobby I have good cards". I thought what if he was slow playing me and had KK in his hand?

Naaaahhh he would have pushed earlier so nobody limped in and caught a straght or something better. I still had both cards and so did he so we weren't gonna be out in the first hand so said "ALLIN AL". He wasn't happy but he did call and he was less happier when I showed him my full house.

Last hand I'm dealer and the blinds were $200 ~ $400 I'm sitting there with around $4.5k and A5 UG calls 3rd calls I call SB calls & BB checks to the flop. Flop comes AX3 they all check around to me and I bet $1,000. SB folds BB calls (Michelle) others fold, heads up with Michelle.

Turn comes a 4 card and I needed to push her out cos she'll just keep calling with anything hoping to hit on the river so I went ALLIN and she called. I turn my A5 looking at a posible straight draw and she has AJ off. River card no good to either of us but her Jack kicker held up.

It was good to catch up with some old friends and a good night of poker I'll possibly be there again next week.

nice post bob, but didnt u think u were in kicker trouble when she called ur 1k raise??? i prob would of tried to check it down after that call

But Bob had an Ace anda busted draw - surely that is enough to eliminate his kicker problems?

Hi there guys. Yes, my first thought was, does she or doesn't she have an ace too with a better kicker. I have sat next to Michelle numerous times but usually on her left. And she does play some really crap cards at times and catches on the turn or river.

So my second thought was to either bet another $1k or check but then it left me open rfor her to go over the top as she had more chips than me. So I chose to CHARGE like a bull at a gate, push ALLIN and got busted.

I didn't really pin my hopes on the straight and seen that as a bonus if I hit, LOL. Hey, it was a bad move by me as I had plenty of time and a reasonable amount of chips to check it down and if she raised me I might have folded and wait for another time. But there was the straight draw too LOl. Silly bloody game sucks us in all the time.

Hey, it was a good night and a bonus to be able to catch up with old friends.
