Play a Hand with me

Ok, fishies, here’s a special new feature on priorworks, one that will let you go inside the mind of a hardcore grinder, i.e. myself. So, let’s cut to the action. We’re at a 1/2 table at Roger’s place. Our hero is in the small blind with King 10 off suit. Seven handed. The game has been pretty loose, with a lot of calling station behavior, especially of preflop raises. Very difficult to manage getting headsup, but if you hit a flop, you could be good to go. Back to the action. We have one limper, and then a bunch of folds to me, so I chuck a buck in and the big blind checks.

Now, here comes the flop. KING KING 10!

Bingo!

I check, and then this happens. The big blind, smirks at the flop, and pitches his cards in the muck. The guy who limped, laughs at the big blind’s lack of interest in the hand, and says, “yeah, me too,” and chucks his cards in the muck too.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner as they say. $4 to me.
