A drunken Mellor strolls into a drunken jackpot. The 1/2 table is agro, assholes getting mouthy over nothing. Lots and lots of whining going on.
I call a raise preflop, 4 see a flop. I make top pair and bet.
Two callers and a BB all-in.
I go into the tank for 30 secs , top pair is gold in the Jackpot, especially on Saturday night.
I'm a little uneasy. The dealer calls clock, a little shocked I ask who called clock and he replies that he did. Now, I wasn't very happy about this, a dealer should not call clock (especially after 30 secs). I tell him I'm not happy, I take my minute and reluctantly fold. Hand not shown.
After the above injustice, the pokers gods felt it right to repay me.
Shortly later I am dealt AsQs in LP.
3 limpers, I raise to 12
Four callers,
Flop
Ks 10s 8d
3 checks, player to my right bets pot, I call, ep calls, two folds
Turn
2s
Ep checks, player to my right bets pot, I call (leaving about €25 behind €400+ in pot)
River
Js
My first ever Royal flush, and he says go, your all-in then.
The table closes, and I make a few euro on the next, then that closes.
New table. Not much happens and i'm up slightly, but very active, and very chatty, a few players are distracted my simple talking shite.
I raise my button after 3 limpers, Chinese guy in the BB calls, and one other.
I hold Ah5h
Flop
Js 3s 4s
Chinese guy bets pot, fold from the straggler
I call.
Turn
2s
(in case somebody thinks this is just a nut flush, look close, its a steel wheel, straight flush A to 5, two SFs in an hour or two)
Chinese guy checks, I bet pot which has him all-in.
He is thinking, the third heart obviously slowed him down, I'm thinking he wanted a free card to pair the board. He looks at me and says;
"You got flush"
"Of course I do, fold, you're drawing dead"
He calls in defiance, with the I've got outs mentality that I love. likely not believe the mouthy guy (me)
I flip the straight flush over before the river, I want his money, but I don't want him to think a paired board is a winner for him.
I left that night, up 3 or 4 buy-ins (full ones not the $50 buy-ins mind)
I'd like to thank both the poker gods for smiling and the rude dealer for upseting the balance.
