Stop.... HAMMER TIME!

One of my favorite poker stories... (it's not a bad beat... or at least for me)

Setting: Treasure Island Poker Room
Game: 9 handed Two-Four Limit Hold’em
My Stack: $80?
My Position: middle -- 4th preflop action

Under the Gun (UTG) folds, UTG+1 calls, Old Lady Villian makes it 4, Donkey makes it 6, fold, fold, button calls, small folds, big blind calls. 5 to the flop with $31 pre drop in the pot.

Flop comes Qd 5h 9s. big blind checks, UTG+1 checks, OL Villian bets 2, Donkey makes it 4, button calls, big blind folds, UTG+1 folds, OL Villian calls. 3 to the turn with $43 pre drop.

Turn comes 3h. OLV bets 4, Donkey makes it 8, button folds, OLV calls. 2 to the river $59 pre drop (after drop -- Boofer would it be $55 or $56?)

River comes 8s. OLV checks, Donkey bets 4, Pot is now $59-$63 with $4 to call – OLV lays down saying she had a good queen. Donkey calls over friend to show him that he has successfully bluffed a huge pot in 2/4 with THE HAMMER – 2/7 offsuit... I love poker.
