The poker forum is a great place to find out information of upcoming events. I'd like to see some more activity in the Stud Forum. Seven Card Stud is a great game and extremely profitable if you can learn the basics. There are a lot of new players trying it out. Believe me, the competition in Stud is a lot easier to beat then the & Card Stud players. Feel Free to Ask Questions in the Poker Forum

Some of you may or may not know this about me, but a few years ago I was in a pretty serious car accident. I am lucky to be alive. I often have serious pains in my right leg, which at times can make me sweat. I have learned to live with the pain and I am surely not asking for sympathy.
The weather has been really good lately so I basically have come out of hibernation. This means I forget the pain and start walking faster when I am outside. I jump and skip like a child. I just love spring and the heat; I ride my bicycle and pop wheelies, ride recklessly and torment the tourists in my town.
I was playing poker 7 Card Stud today and had to share this story where my leg in fact won me a few extra dollars. I was playing well and looked down at split aces so I raised and got a few callers. I actually felt a sharp twinge in my leg at the start of the hand and bet every street, ignoring the pain. On the 7th Street (the river card) I looked down at a six of spades giving me a needed two-pair. I bet one last time and as I bet my leg cramped so badly I jumped out of my chair. Pokerprof was standing right next to me and had to leap out of the way of my soaring chair. The players at the table had an extremely puzzled look on their faces and all called because I guess they felt it was a bluff. I am sure at least one called with just a lone pair. I started to laugh and came back to the table and turned my hand face up. Aces UP Takes it Down! Thanks Leg!
I had to take a break and came back and rocked the table a little more. I guess I might have to take it easy on myself…hell no!

Gotta love hands like these! I was playing 10/20 Stud. This is almost the perfect scenario. Here we go: I have an Ace up with pocket 10s in the hole. (As 10s 10d) and my opponent Mike to my left a very solid poker player has a King up. I raise representing the Ace and he calls and my nemesis this weird guy who has a little dude that always seats him at the table. I mean this guy looks like a character out of Rocky Horror Picture Show wearing thick dark black rectangle sunglasses, you know the kind that people in their 70s wear over their bifocals. The hand before I tried to bluff a flush and he called me with a lone pair of Jacks so I figured he would think I was on Tilt so I raised and was thinking, “This is the hand I am going to get him with because he is a massive calling station maniac from some other planet!” Now I could write a book on this guy but that’s another story. If you’re interested ask me about when I told him that, “I didn’t know that being able to assault your opponent physically was part of poker.” Okay back to the story. So I raised the hand and of course he and Mike and just about everyone at the table calls. I am on Tilt right! On the drop is a 10 of clubs I am thinking cool so I continue with a bet and Mike and the “Outer Space Guy” call. Didn’t I mention he wears all black? Well his wife wears all white to the casino and she too has her little guy assistant that seats her at poker tables, she once called me with a pair of fives when I had a full house, just for fun I made her show, ooh I am getting the creeps now. So the Ten on the drop is a great card. And knowing that Mike is a solid player, I feel he is real far behind now but he just calls making me suspicious. Fifth Street is a pretty good card a ten of hearts. So I figure well I probably won’t be called by anyone now so jokingly I check my hand and Mike says, “Okay I’ll Bite” and of course the Man in Black does what we expect, NO! I didn’t expect this, he raises. I just smooth call to try and keep Mike in the hand and then the unthinkable happens, Mike raises! The Man in Black of course calls and then I bump it to cap! The Man in Black has to call, that's what he does. I check sixth again and Mike bets the Man in Black calls and then I bump it again, “Mike says I have to raise ya pal.” The Man in Black finally folds I look at Mike and say “Raise!” Mike puzzled by this says’ “What do you have Quads?!?!” I say nothing. Mike calls and I look at the river card for 5 seconds then I bet. Mike just calls. Mike had rolled Kings from jump and was drawing dead on 5th Street, a King was folded by my buddy in black. Mike had Kings Full of Sevens and my quads took it down.
Pot Size $650+ so for the week that’s MY BEST HAND STORY! I took the money and donated it to my favorite charity, Stop and Shop, and bought myself a nice sirloin! Never play on an empty stomach and watch out for the Man in Black!
