2 Aces + 2 Aces

by Dave Robichaud • November 8, 2006

Holy cow! I've GOT to share this with everyone!

Todd and I play heads-up poker pretty much every lunch hour. Nothing serious - we only play for $0.50 a game bragging rights (Of course we don't gamble on company premises!). It's just to have a few laughs and to break up the day.

Well, today, I almost effin' pooped my Depends®!

I deal out the cards, and I look down at pocket Aces. Great hand, and I don't want to scare Todd off. In the small blind, I raise a standard 3x BB and make it 400 total. Todd calls.

The flop comes AAJ! "Are you kidding me?", you may ask. Well I can assure you ladies and gentlemen, that I am certainly NOT kidding! I FLOPPED QUAD ACES!

Todd bets out 500, I smooth call. Turn comes a 10, Todd bets 1000, I smooth call again. River comes another 10, Todd pushes, I obviously call, and the game is over.

So, I'm not sure what's better - flopping quads, or Todd betting into me every street when I'm holding the nuts!

I'm sure nobody cares about this, but I just had to share my story!

I see you must have won a deck of cards from poker room. It pays to be on the council. :0

Yeah.... you don't want to know what I had to do to win them.

As long as what you "had to do" wasn't Todd or Chris... then I'm sure it can't be that bad.

Are you kidding me, when did this happen??? You guys didn't even tell me about it! Too bad that couldn't happen when you're playing for points and real money! Charla
