Hand Of The Day #49

$1/$3 NLHE - Rivers Casino - 08.07.10

An attractive 40's Lady sits next to me on my Left, and buys-in to the game with 100 White chips. I assume that she's waiting for the $4/$8 game to open, because I'm also on that List. She tells the Dealer that she'll wait for the Big Blind to come around so she doesn't have to Post the $3. She ends up sitting there for about six hands, and even gets a Player's Card made by the Desk while waiting.

Finally, she gets to play her Big Blind. I'm the SB, and I limp with Jc 9s. Six players see a Flop of Kc Qc Ts. I check my Straight, hoping someone will bet. The Lady bets 5 White chips, and two players call. I check-raise to $20. The Lady calls the extra 15 White chips, and UTG+2 calls.

Turn [Kc Qc Ts] 6d. Good, a Brick. I bet $50 hoping to end this hand. The Lady goes All-In for her last 77 White chips. UTG+2 folds, and I call the extra $22. She proudly shows her Ah Ad. I show my Straight, and win the Pot.

She says, "I guess this isn't my game," and leaves after one hand. The rest of the Guys at the table were not happy with me for chasing her away. But the $4/$8 game opened about 10 minutes later, and I bought into that game with my profit.
