Big Dance 4

Playing 150-300 with 25 antes 8-handed so 650 in the pot before cards are dealt.

We fold the first round of the button. Half the hands are raises to 800 or 900 by Pete on our immediate right and we haven't had anything to call with, even from the bb.

Seat 4 is new to the table (9-handed now) and raises to 800. We call from seat 7 with 99 and the bb calls. Flop comes 29A rainbow. Giddey up. We have a set on a board with no real straight or flush danger. They both check and we check hoping someone will hit the turn. Turn comes 5h putting a second heart on the board. Bb checks and seat 4 bets 2250. We call and so does bb. River comes Qh putting a flush on the board. Not good. Bb checks and seat 4 bets 3000. Does he have a flush? Does the bb and he's just waiting to raise? We just call. Bb folds and seat 4 shows AA. He flopped top set over our mid set. He takes it down, but losing 6000 on that pot is amazingly cheap. That Qh probably saved us 20,000 chips or he would have bet and we would have raised until he was all in. Wow. Lucky to lose 6000 with set over set.

Bracelet raises to 750 and we call from the bb with AQ. Flop comes 46Q. We check and he bets 1500. Just no kings please. We call. Turn comes 9. We check and he checks. River comes 2. We bet 2900 and he calls. He mucks when we show our cards.

Seat 3 raises to 800 and we call from bb with JKh. Flop comes 356 with 2 spades. If she has 2 big cards that should scare her. We bet 1100 and she calls. Turn comes 4s putting a 4 card straight and a flush on the board. We bet 2200. She should fold big cards but she raises to 6000. Flush? Big spade? We fold.

We raise to 800 from seat 6 with 7Td and get calls from 7 and 8. Flop 39T with 2 hearts and a diamond. We bet 1800 and they both call. Turn comes 2d giving us the flush draw and top pair. We bet 4000 and they both call. Hmmmm. River comes 8d giving us a flush! It would be very strange to lose this. The only possible hands to beat us are A9d really. Maybe JQd. Best case scenario someone has JQ not diamonds and made a straight. We bet 10000 and sadly they both fold. No worries, we picked up a good chunk of chips there bringing us back over 50 and almost to 60!

Seat 3 and 6 limp and we limp from 7 with 22. The blinds limp and the 5 of us see the flop AA3. Blinds and 3 check and Pete bets 700. Doesn't mean anything - he has picked up a lot of pita with prodding bets. Our 22 is likely good. We call and seat 3 calls. Turn comes 5. Now a 4 gives us a straight and a 2 a boat (A also gives us a boat, but less likely to win). They both check and we bet 2200. Seat 3 raises to 5200 and Pete folds. It's 3000 to us. She has another 15000 behind so if we hit we will get paid. Also, we have position so if she checks the river we can see if our dueces are good even u improved. It's a hard decision but we call. River pairs the 3 and she pushes all in for 15000. Our cards literally don't play. Our best hand is the AA335 on the board. We fold.

Our table breaks and we move to table 1 seat 1. I like that.

Seat 6 raises to 800 and we reraise from the bb with AK to 2300. He calls. Flop comes 35T with 2 clubs. We bet 2400 and he calls. River comes Ah. Giddey-up. We bet 3500 and he folds. Too bad.

We call a bet to 800 from the sb with 57d and see a flop 4-way 6TA with no diamonds. We fold.

We fold about ten hands in a row, watching the action. Not as much action here.

Seat 7 raises to 800 and we call from the bb with 89. Flop comes A38. We check and he bets 750. Kind of weak. We raise to 2000 and he calls. Turn comes Q. We check and he bets 2300. We fold.

We end round 4 with 56,125 in chips. One more round of day 1.

All the best,
Donkey. Just Donkey.
