I was in Vegas a few weeks ago and ended up in one of my favorite rooms late on a Saturday night.
The line up:
We are playing 7 handed table is more than happy to limp for $2 80% of the time easily. Hero is about the only opening most hands.
BB: $200 stack. Quiet, wearing ear buds, seams pretty nitty overall. Took a bad beat from the button earlier and only rebought for $100 so he may be out of money to play further if he goes broke.
Middle position: hero!!! $700 stack. It has been a roller coaster for hero to get to this point. Most aggressive player at the table by far. Table image wouldn't be Extreme LAG, but definetly on the LAG side. Most of the big pots hero has shown down a strong hand though when it has gotten to the river.
Middle +1: $200 stack super nitty. Mid 30's Seems to be playing poker to just get his free drinks. Every time the waitress comes around he orders another beer. Earlier he stuck around with 88 to the river and got lucky to catch a set then only checked called, his set was the 3rd nuts as only 2 higher sets could beat him, all draws missed. WTF?!?
CO: drunk old Asian guy that won the daily tournament. Sits down with the entire winnings, close to $1k. Dronks off some to Hero and the a bunch to the button in less than 30 minutes. Stack is maybe $300 at this point. He was very talkative when he sat down and splashing around. But after the beat by the button player he has quieted down and may be licking his wounds.
Button: $800 or so stack. 60ish. Local action gambler type. Think he is much better than he really is. Acts like the room belongs to him since he has been playing in it since the 80's.
He lost a bunch to the Hero in the last hour when hero check called him on to the river then check raised him.
Button then went on a little tilt but got lucky against drunk old Asian guy that won the daily tournament only to blow most of it in one hand bluffing. Drunk guy ends up folding to a $42 allin bet with the pot over $800!
UTG straddles for $5 and it folds to Hero who looks down at .
What's our action?
