My annual food drive event and MTTD warm up event. Three tables. 26 players.

And... third hand into the $60 main event. I am on the button with :ad::4d: and raise. Get a couple callers and the flop comes :2s::3d::5s: I C-bet when it’s checked to me. Villain calls. Turn is :kd:

Villain (who I don’t know well) checks I lead out for 500. Villain CRs to 1100. I raise to 3k. Villain shoves. Ugh. Any guesses what happened?

Rivered 5th ♠️?
 
No. Busted. Flopped wheel. Turned nut redraw. Get shoved on. I cry call with the gut feeling I was going to lose. Villain turns over :6c::4s:
 
Orbits of SOHE and double board PLO to cap the night.

And the FT room picks up a new limit set. Custom labels are likely down the road. But even using as blanks (Non denom) are better than the orig inlay.

And I like the case too.

The guy who busted me with 64o was the seller... evil bastard.

This blog not only highlights the game room, but also the entire venue. Anyone considering a trip to the Fat Tire Poker Room should check out this Drone video a buddy of mine took of downtown Madison. This video is pretty hard to come by, since most of this area is restricted airspace, but my buddy has special permission to fly here. This “Downtown” area is where I work, a strip of land surrounded by lakes, simply gorgeous.


 
I just realized I failed to update the OP with a link to the MTTD 5 live blog. Can no longer edit the OP.

Here’s the LINK for posterity.

Playing 10 handed NLHE. @HanShot1st running good (jinx).

Waiting for a couple guys to leave so the mixed games can begin.

Now 7 handed. First hand of O8 and I scoop for a triple up.

Q234 double suited ss. Flop comes As5sQX. POT repot All in. Spade comes but not the low. Which is good cuz one villain had the same low.

Sat on a huge stack for most of the mixed games when I lost a big pot to local Paul. Ya, I wish I could have that one back. Ended pretty much even for the night...

Edit. Sending positive vibes to one of my locals “Art” who was involved in a serious car crash on his way home last night (3am). Art wasn’t drinking, and a kid spun out in front of him. That’s all I heard from Art, but another local player was driving behind him (saw the crash aftermath) and said Arts car was totaled, and that he was transported to the hospital (stayed overnight). Just thought some might want to know, since Art is a MTTD regular.

Holy crap! Hope he’s ok. I sent him a message.
 
Sorry to hear about Art. Hope is doing well and would appreciate any update.

What was the Paul hand that you lost on?

Heard from Art that he was fine, but his car did not fair well. Stayed overnight in the hospital.

I’ve got 63 (B.B.). And flop comes T63, turn is a 3, river a 6. Paul shoves the river for $100 into a pot of $300. Of course he has pocket tens. I should have found a fold. Against Paul, it’s hard to assume he has anything tho, lol.
 
Another great night of cards. We had a great group, and my new CPC fat tire cash set run-good is still in effect. In for $60, out for $373.

We ended the night with an hour of pineapple. We had a great mix of interest and ability tonight. I felt a move to more crazier games would have forced several of the players to leave sooner than we’d have liked. As it stood, we ended pretty early (around 1am).

Last hand of the night was the best...

Playing Pineapple. It's been very limpy or family pot-like (there's no such thing as a bad starting pineapple hand). I'm in LP with :ks::kc::2h:, and I raise to $2.75 (after several limpers). I get two callers, pot is around $11.

Flop comes :qh::3c::3d:. Checks to me, I lead out for $7... Both EP and MP call. Pot is $31.

MP is a villain that is crafty and very agro. EP jokingly said preflop that they were gonna crack my aces, and MP chimed in that HE was gonna do the ace cracking. When he called my flop bet, he muttered that he felt he might have something (this type of mumbling doesn't always mean anything from this player, he's a bantery kind of guy).

Turn is a :kh:, and it checks to me, so I lead out for $12 (downsized bet). EP folds, and LP check raises me to $30 (with only $60 behind). I tank (trying to calculate how to get all MP's chips into the middle), and I eventually shippit. MP cry calls, and flips over :3h::kd:. I hit a 1-outter to take the lead, and dodge the last :3s: on the river... scoop a nice pot to felt my buddy. The worst part of this was that as MP is trying to rebuy for another $100, the table decides to break, so he has zero opportunity to recover... "felted... game over" poker sorry bro.
 
Everything about your room looks like so much fun!

Madison isn't too far from Burlington, IA. Perhaps I need to make a trip up there! :cool:

We had a guy last night drive from 3 hours away... crazy.

Follow the link in my signature to see the MTTD meetup thread. It’s worth the drive!

Yeah, it's 4 hours for me to Madison. I'm not likely coming up for a weekly game. :D

I will look into the MTTD for next year, though!

I lived in Burlington, IA for a year and a half...if you come up I’d pay to have you bring some Chicken Lips up from Martini’s

They are fantastic! They also have a Lips2Go store on Roosevelt. Day old lips aren't nearly as good, but if I come up, I'll bring you some!

When did you live here?

Me and local “woody” get it in ($200 pot) playing PLO. I flop the nuts with a STR flush draw. It’s potted twice before me. I repot, etc. we get it in. Woody has a set and is looking for the board to pair, which it does. But it gives me the str flush.
