Chicken Head


The Chicken Head is the result of too much Tequila or perhaps not quite enough. My plan is to wear it at next year's World Series. Absolutely no one will take me seriously at the table......

Great Cards, Easy Game

Played my typical 2-5 NL game at Bay 101. Sat down and in the BB and the guy under the gun made it 15 to go. Three other guys limped along. I looked down at 7-3 offsuit, close to the worse possible starting hand. With the pot odds of better to 6-1 on my money, I tossed my extra ten bucks into the pot. The flop came out 7-3-Q, with two hearts. I checked my two pair. The guy under the gun made it 25 to go. The two other guys folded. I thought about for a minute and then decided to raise to avoid the flush draw. Could the guy have AK of hearts? I didn't raise enough (50) as he quickly called. The turn brought a black A. He checked. Trapping with AQ? Afraid of the A?

I went all in. He thought for a long time and then called. The river brought another 7 and I filled up. What did he have? Phil Hellmuth--two black nines...

The session was simply amazing, bluffed with Q7 and won; 4-5 offsuit in small blind flops another two pair that holds up. And then finally, KK beats QQ for a BIG pot. I could do no wrong. It was an Everest avalanche of bad cards that connected with the flop and good cards that held up. Easy to love the game when all of that happens in a short session....
