two hands = big profits
in limit poker to win, say, 5 x your buy in you would have to win many pots over the course of the session; with no limit you can win two pots and accomplish the same thing.
i am on the cut-off with a pair of red 4's with 5 callers in before me and no raise. i call. the flop comes 4s, 4c, 7c! now how to get some money in the pot plus there is a big bonus for quads at mandalay bay but you need 20 dollars in the pot to qualify and at this time with 7 callers there is only 14 dollars. but not to worry, it is bet by bb and called in 4 places before it gets to me so the 20 dollars is a done deal. i, of course, call. the turn is the Qc and bb goes all in for his last 60 dollars and is called in 3 places and i, of course, call. the river is a blank. first player to bet, checks, next player bets 50 dollars, next folds, i raise all in and one folds and the calls. BINGO!
i am in the lb with pair of two's. flop comes 2-Q-Q. as it turns out two people had queens and i got both their stacks. BINGO!
i love the internet tournament players coming into the cash games. they play c.g.'s as if they were a tournament. they lose their money. god bless 'em. keep coming.
off to play.
p.s. on my quitting smoking campaign, i have made one pack of cigs last 3 full days and i still had 3 left over this morning so i am getting very close. it is amazing how little i want to smoke. usually when one is quitting this addictive a drug the desire for it can be overwhelming. not only do i not really want one when i do, more out of habit than desire such as drinking that first cup of coffee in the morning, they don't taste good and there seems to be little or no satisfaction. odd but good.
