Four is the new Six

Superdave likes to let everyone know that he loves a six, any six. Well this past Wednesday he dissed the sixes for some balls-to-the-wall plays with a four in his hand.

His first demonstration of the power of the four was when there was four people to the flop for $10. Blue flat-banged his remaining $85 stack into the $40 pot when the flop came 356, two hearts. Dave pondered. Wondered if he had six outs, ten, or was drawing to a chop. He called, as Dave likes to do.

Lo and behold, he straightened out on the river and Blue's 65 top-two on the flop was no good. E bust out laughing. He was loving it. He got on Blue's case in a big way for running his mouth at E all night until it was Blue's chips that were dwindling and disappearing.

Blue rebought, and not two minutes later, Haga took him to kicker school when the flop came out A99. AK vs AQ got ugly, and E bust out laughing some more.

We gave Blue some ice cream to appease him. It all worked out in the end.

We had thirty pots of $100 or more, putting the Bad Beat Jackpot up to $2,310. I quiver every time there's a ton of action and the board shows a possibility.

We ended up playing some $2/$4 dealer's choice into the wee hours of the morning after the $1/$2 NL game broke. A good time was had by all.

We'll be back at it again next Wednesday. Cards in the air at 7PM. Holler at me to lock up a seat.
