Before doing ANYTHING he&#8217;d play with his chips for like 2 minutes. So I had 3, 9 of diamonds obviously I wouldn&#8217;t play this hand normally but I was big blind, what can I say. It limps around to me and so I check it. 3 people in the pot.<br \/>\nAnd then what falls but a 5, 4, 8 of diamonds. I&#8217;m like holy shit I just made a flush. So I bet $10 into a pot of $7 both other people call me. Next card down was an ace of spades. I checked, next guy checked, and then super annoying guy bets $60. So I called him, the other guy folds. The next card is a 2 of clubs. I&#8217;m all duuuu is a straight higher than a flush??? I was feeling a little bit underconfident so I checked it. (In retrospect I should have bet, not that it mattered). And then, after playing with his chips for another 10 minutes, the guy pushes all in for another $75. So yeah&#8230; what to do what to do&#8230; But this guy was way annoying. And I felt like if he&#8217;d made the flush, he&#8217;d have raised me on the flop. So he might at best have a flush draw, which didn&#8217;t hit him or he paired his ace. But arg so much money&#8230;. So I called him. and he had 8 of clubs, 7 of diamonds.. so a pair of 8s&#8230; really? a pair of 8s? jeez&#8230;<br \/>\nAnd there I was with all his money. w00t.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, went to vegas over christmas.
