College is starting so there are tons of punk kids throwing around money in poker. I bought into a cash game 25/50 blinds, $20 buy in. Played for a while, real bad cards folded blind after blind and saw no action. Finally got QQ...tons of preflop action puts me all in heads up against a player who I knew was loose. Unfortunatly for me he did have KA. Flop comes down KKA turn A river A. I guess god wanted me to lose that one real bad.
I rebuy for $20 more
Anyway, thats not the hand I want you to analize. Hours later the action is out of control its so loose someone is going all in every hand (only 4 players). They call 'last hand' and im delt AK spades from the big blind. First action calls, second calls, small raises to 1, I reraise to 5. First and second guy call, small folds. Pot is $16, flop comes down
. The guy next to me (who is has been a total maniac all game) goes all in for $15 (putting me all in). The other guy, who has been one of the tighter, better players, calls.
It seemed to me pot odds were telling me to call (although you can correct me if I'm wrong). I was lookin down at my remaining $15 thinking of all the pizza I could buy with it. Then I realized the money shouldn't be on the table if I wasnt willing to call with it. I say "I am not folding here, or calling, just flipping my cards. I flip them over and immidiatly my reads are confirmed. The guy next to me is clearly destroyed, and the other guy definitly has the best hand but and of my outs will kill him.
I call. I was right about the first guy, he was playing Ace high. The other guy I was a little off on. He had JA, so my Ace was no good. No king or spade came and I went out 40 bucks down on the night.
Analize that second hand for me. Thanks.
