The 25 million Dollar home game

Ok... so its not really 25 million Dollars, its £25.

Still we've got 8 runners, were paying the top 3

1st - £100

2nd - £60

3rd - £40

So plenty of money for a small home game.

Players:
Seat 1: Paul

Seat 4: Mark
Seat 5: Pat
Seat 6: Al
Seat 7: Brad

I've stole this seating arrangement of Andy!! Thanks man!

Its difficult to remember too much about this game for me, there were no glaring errors and not much in the way of sparkling plays... It played out as it should i suppose.

I did hook up a well disguised full house early on... 

Blinds at 20/40 there's a standard raise from Pat of 120 and I call in the big blind with 8 5 suited, i guess the blinds were small enough for me to call here, 80 chips isn't gonna kill a starting stack of 5000 and I just like to play some random hands out to get a feel for the players at the table and what their raising with.

Dream flop of 8 5 and a rag i forget - 2 pair, well disguised. I put 200 into the 260 pot and get re raised to 600... Perfect I instantly put Pat on an over-pair to the board and call.

The turn comes down an 8 giving me a full house. Its tricky here, Pat has got to be putting me on a pocket pair or maybe A8 thinking I connected with the flop (top pair top kicker).

The 8 on the turn spells trouble for me I could well be put on trip 8's now, and assuming Pat has the overpair I think his 2 pair are dead.

I stick a 1000 in and hope Pat believes in his 2 pair... He doesn't and folds showing aces.

Good fold Pat! Not sure if a check on the turn would've induced a bet from Pat?

I think he had me on 8's either way!

I finished one of the bubble in the end... too many coin flips and I'm gone

next time!!
