The other day I was practicing a little on my short-handed game and after waiting and waiting through several sets of blinds for a hand that had cards higher than a eight, yeah, I have those days too. Finally I catch big slick in the small blind and someone in middle position makes a small raise. This couldn't be better, the other players fold to me and I reraise all-in. The big blind calls and the original raiser calls, both of whom have me covered. The flop brings two spades one of which pairs my ace and causes both other players to shove their remaining chips into the middle. The player in middle position showed a pair of tens and I breathed a sigh of relief, compounded by the four six of spades the big blind turned over. The turn card was another king, giving me aces up and the beginnings of a warm fuzzy I'm fixing to triple up feeling until the river came a third spade.
As I looked back and tried to figure out how someone calls an all-in with four six suited I had one of those fleeting thoughts where I wished I knew how to play Pot Limit Omaha! Obviously I was going back to the books and see if there was a section that I had missed in my hold'em education that explained the how and why of playing six four suited in the big blind. I will have to fix this hole in my game or else I may have to learn how to play 7 Card Stud or take up bowling or tennis or jenga. Does anyone else lose this much sleep on seemingly simple problems? I hope not. Good luck at the tables and see you at SCOOP!!!!
