honestly laying down a huge monster hand and being right about it....gives me the biggest rush....or calling with just an Ace or King high....either one
Craziest play I have ever made.
A few years ago I was playing in a big card game in Huntsville. 5-10 game.
I was in college and all the money to my name was the 850 sum odd dollars of chips I had sitting in front of me.
Guy to my immediate right raises to 75 and I call.
We are heads up and I have position on him.
I have KJ of clubs.
Flop comes and it is Queen (hearts), 10 (spades), 4 (clubs).
He bets 150 and I insta call.
Turn card is a 2 (spades).
He checks and I check.
River is another 10 (hearts).
He puts me all in and I sit there for literally 5 minutes talking to him. He is a great player and gives me zero information as he just goes into a shell as he always does. Very savvy player and I knew he had the balls to make a bluff.
Guy at the end of the table he is plastered and gets pissed and calls "clock" on me.
I look at the guy who shoved and say, "I think you have Jack, Nine."
"Why do I think you have Jack, Nine!!!"
"Call!"
The guy throws his cards in the middle and says, "Good hand...Fuck!".
I demand that he flips his cards over (which is fucking insane), if he has Ace high I lose. He looks at me and says, you know what I have. I say, "I called I want to see." He says, "You called my fucking hand!", and flips over Jack, Nine.
I flip over my cards and show King high...the room goes ballistic. People from all the other tables start to hear about the hand and start running over to our table.
The guy looks at me and says, "Did you see my fucking cards, because that is the only way you could have made that call!" He walks out of the card room and goes for a little stroll...
My buddy from 4 tables over sees me after the game and was like, "who the fuck made that call over there at your table, that shit was crazy." I just start smiling and he says, "no the fuck you didn't!"
