    Exclamation Firing the fourth bullet

    My buddy Dave Nutini has bigger balls than me, and he proved it to the poker community Saturday night.

    Final table of the Bad Beats $100 game this past weekend. Nine players remained. Dave was the chip leader with 62,000 chips and I was in second with 43,000. Blinds/antes were 400/800/100. I was on the button and Dave was in the big blind.

    Most people would expect the two chip leaders to stay out of each other's way, but those people just don't understand how competitive Dave and I are.

    It folded around to me, so I raised to 2,000 with . I'm sure Dave didn't like me raising his big blind.

    Dave re-raised to 5,800 with . I sure didn't like his re-raise, but figured he would probably do this to me about half the time. So of course I called. He couldn't have possibly liked that, since he was now out of position in a large pot with ten high.

    There were now 12,900 chips in the pot and the flop came:



    Dave led right out for 8,000, which I hated. So of course I raised to 22,000 which he hated. Then he called, which I REALLY hated. There were now 56,900 chips in the pot and the turn came:



    We both checked and I decided to push on the river regardless of what card came. The river came:



    Dave pushed all in, and I deliberated briefly. I actually considered calling, but if I was wrong and he actually had a jack I would be gone. With 19,000 chips and the button at a full table, I felt like I still had enough chips to make a comeback if I folded. So I did. Then he showed his hand and my only choice was to shove my face into the kitchen sink.

    So who else has ever let a pot careen completely out of control when neither player had a hand? I know I've done this with Ben and George before. I wasn't proud of it then, and I didn't feel any better losing this monster pot (and the tournament) this weekend either.

    The secret of success is sincerity. Once you can fake that you've got it made.

    Success is going from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm.

    As you all know, Rounder63 and myself are fierce rivals on the table and friends off. I hadn't met rounder and only knew him thru skype until recently. That is, until Nick came to visit Michelle and I in CT. He flew in from Vegas and needless to say it wasn't long before we headed off for some live poker action at Mohegan Sun.

    Nick sat to my immediate right on a $1/$2 table which I liked as I had position on him. We both had about $350 when the following hand ensued:

    Nick raised to $7 preflop. I called as did the BB. The flop came:

    Ace-King-9 rainbow....$22 in the pot

    BB checked, Nick bet $15, I raised to $40, BB folded and Nick called. Before the turn comes down, Nick leads blind for $40...

    Turn came:

    3 of diamonds (completing the 4-suit rainbow).... $100ish in the pot plus another $40 from Nick's dark bet.

    I call.

    $180 in the pot and the River comes another 9.

    Nick bets $80 into the pot. I have about $260 left in my stack. I pause for 2 minutes before raising to $180 total.

    Nick looks down at the $80 in my stack and mucking 2-3 face-up, jokes about whether he might have had some fold equity if he shoved. I flip up 8-10 and explain that he would have.

    Wow, I wasn't aware Dave ever has enough chips in front of him to fire this many times... I'm quite impressed!
