Session #57 - Pinky and the Lack of a Brain

So about early afternoon I stop into the clubhouse for a little texas hold 'em poker action and I'm greeted by the usual suspects. Street's there getting cracked by BikerBoy as usual. The table banter is unusually high today and it even escalated to the point where the houseman had to step in and warn people as well as sit one guy out for ten minutes after Street told BikerBoy "Fuck You" in response to BikerBoy calling him a piece of shit. I just about fell out of my chair!

I had it out with Pinky after one hand that really pissed me off. Pinky's sitting in the small blind, BikerBoy is UTG, Old-Not-Deaf-Guy is UTG+1 and I'm UTG+3 sitting on KJ suited. Now I make it two bets to go and it gets capped and I call as I now have the button. The flop comes down 5-6-k and BikerBoy bets out and I make it two bets and everyone calls. The turn is a Jack so I'm now looking at two pair and it's checked to me and I bet and everyone calls and Pinky is all-in. The river is a 5 and it's checked to me and I bet, everyone calls but Old-Not-Deaf-Guy is humming and hawing and then Pinky does something that sent me through the roof. I absolutely HATE when players act in an immature non-professional manner and this one took the cake. He set his cards down, seperated one and held it out ready to flip over. It was so blatantly obvious he had a five for trip fives but what he was doing was complete and utter bullshit. He was influencing the play when he had no call to do so. He was only in for the main pot and we were still fighting over the side pot. Old-Not-Deaf-Guy saw his play and folded his hand which cost me one big bet.

I fucking lost it on him and called him out on his immature, non-professional attitude and he got all defensive and Grade Two blustery like he usually does. This guy is a classless piece of shit and I love riding him on his crap because he couldn't defend himself from a parking ticket, let alone his crappy table manners. If he got hit by the onion truck I would be first to call the Darwin Awards people.

As for my play for the day, I had awesome cards early on that got run down hard. I mean top pair top kicker getting tripped up on the river. Flopped sets getting beat by bigger flopped sets. My two pair getting spanked by a gutshot straight made on the end. It was un-real. I finally moved into Street's seat after he got cracked out of the game because history has told me his seat catches fire for some reason after he leaves and sure enough I went on a $400 run and made back everything I had lost up to that point plus $100. I stayed pretty much even for awhile and managed to leave on the plus side.
