Fun with trips

Isn’t hitting trips from a pocket pair the most boner inducing moment in NL hold’em? Actually I think that flopping trips is in the top 5 of the most boner inducing things that exist on the planet. I swear if they could bottle that feeling of flopping trips there would be no need for Viagra. Maybe I’m just obsessed with saying boner inducing, or worse, boners themselves! Ok we’re getting off topic, or are we?

Ok so trips. Just gonna post 2 wicked ass trip hits from today’s session since they excited me so much – I have to preserve the euphoria via blog. One of these actually happened while I was writing this, try to guess which one! (Boner in bold)

Ignoring what the complete fish called with on the river (King high?) you’ve gots to love the check raise on the river when the third spade came. Pure genius I must admit. Figured one of them had to be chasing that flush with that betting pattern. Although I would have been in trouble had an ace or 9 came. More trip action? You gots it!

(“gots” count:2)

This one was a cash game as you can see, and I had been dealt AA twice and JJ in the past 5 minutes, I envisioned my opponents getting tired of my domination when this hand started. So I do the standard play here, raising preflop on the button with queens and betting the pretty safe flop for my hand. And the caller here in this situation is what I would refer to as an “overvaluator”, where they figure hands like top pair are all in worthy, so I wasn’t overly scared of his call. Then my gin card hits on the turn, giving me the nut boat (if he has quad fours it wasn’t my day) and I slyly check like the genius I am. When the second seven hits on the river I say a silent prayer as that is pretty much the best card I could have hoped for, seeing as how if he has a 7 it is going to be extremely hard to fold a boat there, especially the way it was played. When he calls my reraise and mucks KK I’m pretty surprised that he called when there was almost no chance KK was good and relieved in the fact that I did hit that queen on the turn. Thanks for the double up, and I gots my second boner of the day (and third “gots”).

Sorry, too much boner talk. I'll try and curb my enthusiasm next time.

One last thing if you are still with me.
