Lost a hundred dollar pot to my teenage daughter
This is one of my favorite poker stories of all time, even though I lost the hand.
We were playing in a small cash game on Saturday night, when my daughter who was 13 at the time asked if she could have her weekly allowance a day early so she could get into the poker game. I handed her a $20 bill and she pulled up a chair. After a while she had worked her way up to $50 when the following hand came up...
She was in the small blind and raised. I was in the big blind and called with:
:As::5s:
The flop came:
:Ah::5h::5c:
She raised, I re-raised, she re-raised and then I called.
The turn and river were both blanks, with each of us betting, raising and re-raising all the way to the river until the pot was over a hundred dollars. When it was time for a showdown, I explained to her how important it was to be a good sport, accept your losses with dignity, etc. She said, 'I know all that Dad, but I have you beat'. Then I sat there in stunned silence as she turned over her cards:
:Ac::Ad:
We had both flopped full houses from the blinds! She then cashed out immediately, while I had to play for two more hours just to break even. That's certainly the most memorable hand I've ever played.
