Best Doyle'ism and Thank You FTP

I'm catching up on some NBC Heads-Up Championship and laughed my ass off when Doyle, playing against Lindgren, says he's so old he doesn't even buy green bananas. It's almost as good as the time he was on the golf course, flanked by two Vegas girls, says he's so old he goes to bed with milk and cookies. Then he points to the girls and says "this is milk and this is cookies".

Anyway, I decided to donk it up in the BBT3 and it's no time at all before I am sent to the rail. OMG and Al are sitting out to my left, but I can't get a chance to steal their blinds because Cayne, LJ and Puncher keep stealing MY blinds. Eventually it folds to me, I min-raise and take it down. Next hand folded to me and Blinders is in the BB, so I raise 3xBB and take it down. Next hand I do it again and both Blinders and Cayne fold. Then I get dealt KK and I know my night is over.

This is a perfect time to raise again, because now it looks like I am just raising every hand, so both Cayne and LJ defend their blind against my 3xBB. Flop is J87 with two hearts, checked to me, I bet, get re-raised by Cayne, I three bet and he jams. He doesn't flat call with Jacks or a mid pair, so I put him on two hearts so obviously he has T9s and flopped the nuts, cause that's how I run:



Truth is I didn't even think T9 beats me on that flop. I didn't even see it. I must be rusty. Or maybe it's walking on the treadmill while watching Poker on TV and playing will do that to you.

That's funny, I was just posting this over at FeelTheBoom!

That's how you run. Tough spot. GG.

You guys should try Littlewoods Poker. I've been playing there for a few weeks now and there are a lot of fish. Especially if you like playing a omaha poker game as lots of the players seem to try it but don't really know what they are doing.
