Just when I was thinking I would be writing a blog about playing it safe against raises, because all of todays Floptober winners had taken down their hands without getting much value, I get to the final hand…
The action took place at a $2/$4 table, so we aren’t even talking about a penny game, these are real dollars. Pepeman made it $16 to go with his pocket queens, and got a caller from the small blind, this is where the don’t become your nickname comes from. In the small blind was DONK4LIFE, and on this hand he certainly played just like he advertises with his nickname. DONK4LIFE had pocket 7′s, so the call wasn’t so bad, he could be up against a big drawing hand that misses. Unfortunately for him the flop comes down Q-Q-3, me makes the smart move of checking, and Pepeman with his nutty quads bets out $26. At this point alarm bells should have gone off, and DONK4LIFE should have let his sevens go, but for some reason he called. The turn is a 10 and DONK4LIFE again checks and this time manages to lay it down when Pepeman bets out.
If a preflop raise, and an over pair on the board followed by a big bet doesn’t scream out “YOUR SEVENS ARE NO GOOD!” I just don’t know what does.
I’m willing to call this a rush of blood, I’m guessing DONK4LIFE plays plenty of good poker too, this hand was just a story that needed to be told.
Here are all todays winners:
DrHLecter $25 JoshFurrow $25 KingDE $4 Grik0s $50 MRMEATNY $10 DiplVwRG1 $25 RICHHY $300 pepeman $400
We aren’t even a third of the way through the month yet, so there is still plenty of time for you to flop your big quads and win your own piece of this promo, just play in any cash game and flop a set of quads queens or higher. It’s happening everyday, tomorrow could be your day.
