Played big o at shuffle again tonight.
Two decent players, one kinda bad and one awful player. Bought in for $300, could not get cards and just drifted between $200-$400. Then another guy shows up and it's his first time playing big o live and he was really, really bad. He of course dumps his first buy in to the one of the decent players. He goes away for a bit and then comes back reeking of pot and $500 in chips. I had $300 so I buy in for $200 more. He ends up dumping a bunch of chips to the other awful player and I finally start getting some cards at the end and stacked the guy he dumped to 3 times in about 20 minutes.
Best stacking was when I had 22566 and he raised preflop and I called.
Flop is 344, he bets, I call. I think to myself I really could use an ace so I have a wheel.
Bink Ace
He checks, I pot, he calls.
I think to myself, man a 6 here would be cool.
Bink 6.
I pot he calls, he spends a few minutes staring at his cards, mumbling and finally mucks.
Few hands later I get AAKQ5 double suited. I raise $25 preflop, everyone calls, he makes it $100, I pot it and everyone folds but him and he's all in.
Board runs out Q5T97, I lay down my hand and announce 2 pair. He spends the next 3 minutes looking back and forth between his hand and the board, lays down 75 in front of him, mumbles I guess my two pair no good, spends another minute looking back and forth and finally mucks his hand.
End up winning $470 on the night. Not bad for 3 hours of work.
