Won The Foxwoods Jacket
Woo-hoo!! Hit a royal at 1-2 NL last night and chose the Foxwoods WPT Poker Room windbreaker. They didn't have the hoodie fleece in my size and I didn't want a Hard Rock gift card, gas card, or cheapo chip set.
Effective stacks ~ $340. Villain is a drunk in the BB who has been cut off and has been taking forever on every decision. I'm MP1 with Q:c:J:c: UTG limps, 2 folds, I raise to $15 (pretty standard for the table), MP2 calls, folded to Drunk who calls, limper folds. 3 players (pot = $49 after rake) Flop: K:c: 8:s: T:c: Drunk checks, I bet $25, MP3 folds, drunk calls. (pot = $98) Turn: A:c: check check River: 3:c: Absolutely the worst possible card, yet... Drunk bets $75 and has about $600 behind (yes, drunks do win sometimes) Meh, since I doubt anybody calls any size raise any more frequntly than basically never, I ship it for $225 on top of his raise and try to look as nervous as I can. Drunk takes somewhere in excess of 5 minutes, stacking and restacking his chips and finally folds A:d: 7:c: No complaints. His river bet was a gift. |
So you didn't have to go to showdown to win the jacket. Interesting, I'm pretty sure that the bad beat jackpot at the local poker room here has a rule that you have to go to showdown to win the jackpot.
Congrats. :cheers: |
BBJ you have to go to showdown. The royal just has to be shown at the table.
|
Dude that sucks...if you were playing at Mohegan you would have won the high hand jackpot!
|
I see, that's interesting.
VNH sir. |
How is that hand a bad beat?
|
That sounds like a pretty good game.
nh. |
Just got home and will post a trip report. Trust me, it was the most interesting poker table I ever played at.
|
If I were at Mohegan that night its pretty safe to assume I wouldn't have gotten a royal.
"Balls, said the Queen. If I had 2 I'd be King." |
Yeah, IMHO Foxwoods does have looser players. I'm going to Mohegan next week and then Foxwoods next month...hope to see you there.
|
It's not (obv), I was just saying that from what I've seen if the house is giving out a prize, either for a BBJ or high hand or royal, that usually you have to go to showdown to win the prize.
