The slumbering beast awakes. Rounder63 comes down stairs and insta-joins a new game we decide to play. Obviously when you add Rounder63 to the mix, our nitty HU Omaha game turns into 25 dollar flips. This is where LAPPIN really showed how much he can out-skill me when there is no skill involved.
I had KQJ10 double suited, I raise from the button, rounder re-pops me pot. At this point he can have any four cards. So I snap back “I’m all in”. Poor choice... Lappin had yet to act.
Honestly I’m not to worried at this point, as Lappin is hemming and hawing. We play trashy omaha all the time so I can generally put him on his range. He loves calling here with 4 under cards as he justifies this with the line “You both have high cards so my hand is super live.” He eventually makes the call and rounder ships his money in quickly.
We flip up our cards:
Dr Fill KQJ10 (Sick omaha hand)
Rounder AKK10 (Fantastic hand as well)
LAPPIN J974 (Puke worthy hand you wouldn’t play under any legit situation)
We all know the outcome, but at the time I felt fairly positive. Figuring I was behind Rounder, but at least Lappin wouldn’t have my money.
Flop comes J93 and I leap out to a massive favorite, turn comes blank, river comes 7. €50 for Lappin... fun game.
We proceed to flip for 10 hands in a row in which I somehow manage to be down to both LAPPIN and Rounder at the end of it.
Such is life though, and we went out for a delicious meal which would become our staple, only the classiest restaurants for us. Clearly not having played enough poker yet in the day we head over to one of the nicest poker rooms in Dublin named "The Sporting Emporium”.
We were all juiced to play in the tournament they had going on that evening, until we found out no one was playing it. Unfortunately, Rounder and I were in the midst of getting our memberships when we found this out. So we said eff it, we might as well finish the applications and have them for another time, when a familiar looking 7 foot gangly black man walked in the door...
