It was a variance free, boring session till dealer Tom stepped in. I had about $600 in front of me, having bought in for $500. Then came the 2 hands that unhinged me.
Hand 1
I limp in with AdJd in early position. Many callers.
Flop comes 8d 5d Tc
I bet $25, only old fart calls.
Turn is As
I bet $50, old fart calls.
River is Jc
I check and old fart bets $110. I call with my 2-pair and old fart takes the pot with KdQd, hitting a 3-outer to make his broadway.
Hand 2
Creepy lady raises to $40 from middle position and I am the only caller from the big blind with 88.
Flop comes Jd 8d 4d
Of course we get it all-in and creepy lady has JJ.
Somewhat tilted, I rebuy for another $500. And after an orbit, Tom deals the third pivotal hand of his down.
Hand 3
Very nice Italian guy who has me covered raises to $35 from late position. Once again I am the only caller with Ts9s in the big blind. Dubious call? Yes.
Flop comes 8s 5d 2c
I check and Italian guy bets $60. I have missed the flop entirely but somehow feel that the runner-runner possibilities warrant a tilt-induced call. I call.
Turn is 7s
I now have an open-ended straight flush draw and push with my remaining $380. Italian guy thinks for a bit, reads me correctly and calls.
River is Ks
My flush beats his QQ and I double up. Dealer Tom soon finishes his down, and thankfully my play and mental state are now back to where they were when he stepped in.
