Home game was fun. We played through a huge thunder storm which set a nice mood. The streets flooded as well so we stuck around for a second game. I took 2nd in both. Came down to my QJs vs A6o and AA vs K3o on 533.
Funnest hand of the night:
Blinds are 20/40, everyone has roughly 1.5k chips
I'm dealt 89o in SB
CO open limps as does everyone else behind (6 handed). I complete.
Flop 8J8
CO is a little drunk, immediately goes all-in, bends his cards a little and kinda slams 'em down on the table flashing an 8 to me unknowingly.
Folds around to me.
I think for a bit and say commandingly, "Show me one". He reaches for his cards, searching for the one he wants and flips over a 9.
I otherwise would have folded.
What gave me the most pleasure from this hand though was laughing inwardly (rather condescendingly) at the fact the table stood up and roared and laughed with amazement and CO leaned across the table to high-five me. This is the very same group I lost my first $40 to 2 years ago and made a choice; either learn what it takes to win or don't play for money ever again. I'm up ~$1.5k against this particular player pool to date.
