Last night
Ok, here we go, Monday night I played at Big Johnson's Beer Garden. This bar is partially owned by Tex Barch who finished 3rd in the 2006 WSOP main event. The poker is run by the Amateur Poker League and Tex regularly plays in the game. If you are good enough to knock him out of the tournament, you get a $100 bounty and bragging rights to all your friends. I show up an hour early and sign up just in time. Tables are randomly assigned and they start with 9 tables of 8 players each on those annoying octagon tables. Well I draw table 8 and lo and behold Tex takes a seat. I am ready to take him out... I start off folding my first 20 hands either because they suck or a MANIAC two to my right is raising 10 times the blind or going all in preflop or on the flop. There is one thing worse than a maniac donkey and that is a maniac donkey who CATCHES his cards. I make it to the break only down 200 chips and the maniac has knocked out 4 players. Tex is still in so I am waiting for my chance. First hand after the break I look down at JJ so I raise 3x the blind to 600, everybody folds except for guess who? The maniac who pushes all in?!?! I know he is playing any two cards, so I call and he turns over A6s... (BUT THEY ARE SOOOOOOOOTED!!!) Flop is 578 and I know what is coming, turn is.... 9!!! and he gets his straight. As I stand up from the table, head hanging in disbelief I hear Tex say "amazing" and I walk off.
