Learn how to fuckin' make coffee, you fucking whore!
rmd posted recently about Harold & Kumar go to White Castle. The phrase "way better than it had any right to be" always seems to pop up in connection with that movie (check out the comments thread -- see?)
One of the other quasi-regulars in the Oaks $30-$60 (I haven't seen him lately, but I don't play frequently myself, and I did say quasi-regular) is a youngish Indian guy, and one day we happened to be sitting next to each other and some people at the table took to calling us Harold and Kumar. Beats being called Harry Potter if you ask me.
I'm adding H&K II to my "please don't suck" list of sequels (which currently also includes Pirates of the Caribbean 2 and X-Men 3).
Anyone going to the Third annual Nigerian E-Mail Conference?
This afternoon's Sharks game was in my SharkPak, and I fell into the Bay 101 gravitational well afterwards.
A former Shooting Stars champion limps in UTG in an S&M-ish $100-$200 game. I raise 2UTG and get re-raised by the cutoff. Blinds fold, UTG and I call. Flop J85. All check to the cutoff who bets, UTG calls, I check-raise, cutoff 3-bets, UTG calls again, I show mild surprise or feign it and cap the betting. The turn is a 6. UTG checks, I bet, cutoff calls, UTG check-raises, I make it 3 bets, cutoff calls 2 more bets cold (!) and UTG calls. I say "Wow, I have no idea what card I want to see on the river." It's a king (no flushes are possible). UTG checks. I say "Well, that's probably an ok card" as I bet. The cutoff finally folds, and UTG calls. Who has what?
So of course it was set-over-set, JJ/55. (I need to start employing a mixed posting strategy where I blog about non-set-over-set hands just to keep you all guessing). As soon as he cold-called the cutoff's re-raise I thought to myself "Set-over-set! Ding!" I need to work on my tells though :-) But it seems I can get away with it in these games where I'm not a regular.
I'm not sure he made any correct decisions on the hand, except possibly calling on the end given the size of the pot (I'm pretty sure this is the largest limit hold'em pot I've ever won).
