POTD: Shaun Jackson

One of The 2 Outer's good friends and biggest poons earns top honors for today. At a home game today, I raised with 9J suited in mid position. Our buddy Shaun calls with in the big blind. The flop came 9 J 3 with two hearts. I had spades. He checked. With one other player in the hand, I bet 75c (blinds were .05/.10 at this point). Shaun calls after a few seconds, and the other player folded. The turn was the Kd. He checked again, methodically, and came off weak. I bet $1.25, and he called again. The river was a 10. I obviously thought my two pair was solid. There's no way i put him on any sort of Q, unless it was 10Q. The way he was acting though, I knew he didnt turn the nuts. So out of nowhere, he bets 2.50. He usually calls down and puts a big river bet in on a bluff, so knowing this I instacalled. What does the poon flip? Q4 offsuit.

He called the flop with Q high and no draw, called the turn with a gutshot, and the lucky son of a female dog hits the prayer. I love giving money to idiots. He tried defending it of course, saying "he called with the intention of bluffing me." IF I RAISE PREFLOP AND BET THE ENTIRE WAY, DO YOU THINK IM FOLDING?

I wound up finishing up 5 bucks for the day. Got as high as 36 bucks, and went no lower than 16. Last home game for a while, so it was fun.

I won't be on much tomorrow. Enjoy the poonage.
