The mysterious misdeal…
Poker at 81st. I came late because of work. But I got a full house on the first hand, and a straight on the next, not a bad start.
But of course I did not believe john when I had a top pair and he showed me a king just like mine plus the two to make him the full house.
A few hands later, as a small stack, I went all in for six with a queen jack. John calls so does Katzenbach, a new wesleyanite to this ring, flop comes queen ace nine, john goes all in, katz calls, and we all flip over the cards. My queen jack compared to johns king queen, to katz’s ace king. All in a row. I spike the jack on the river to stay alive and and katz takes most of john.
Except at some point I grabbed the cards to deal. Before or after the flop, that is the question. Because john thinks since I had the deck I made him act first.
Later on, when john had gotten the chip lead back, and lost it to me and angus, and rebought eighty dollars in thirty minutes in a rush of all in madness, he blamed the entire trip on me.
I fought in my defense, but he was just angry, and needed to get it out, because in the end, he kept losing races.
So angus, with aces in the hole three times in the night, never broken, got out big winner, 120. Jim and I left with 60 each, thirty profit for me.
John leaves angry.
Im up ninety for the record.
