Poker Night 2 / Gus

Tonight was pretty magical for me. I doubled up (going from 500 chips to just under a 1000). The night started out kind of amusing / standard. We hit a bunch of huge hands (only some of which I kind of remember at this point). We played a bunch of stud variants like Chicago and well, 7-card stud along with our usual fare of . I guess that's not really a bunch! (Yeah.) Anyways, here's the rub:

Hand #1 (big pot):
20 / 40 Limit Omaha Hi. I ended up taking down a big pot after consistently betting to the river after hitting a nut flush on the flop. Magical. That's what we like to call "aggressive Gus". Yes, turns out I can bet all over the place when I have the nuts. Shocking.

Hand #2 (funny):
"T" goes up against his good buddy "J" with a flop of 10 / 10 / K. "T" did a little pre-flop raise, which "J" called. The turn is a deuce. You'd've seriously thought it a blank. So "T"-bones pushed it. "J" calls. The River is a king. "T" goes all in and "J" calls. What do you think "T" has and what do you think "J" has? Well, turns out little mister "T" had a pair of deuces with a seven kicker and was therefore full of dudies. But, we were laughing our asses off. I guess the oxygen was getting a bit low in my living room.

Hand #3:
Crap. To be honest, I don't remember any more hands. All I remember is laughing till I peed myself over the whole "different identities of Gus" thing. I don't know if you've seen the commercials, but we do enjoy poking fun at them. "T" often slow plays so he's like "trapping Gus" who "check raises all of your chips away". Usually when we're screwing around it's just like, "I'm gonna bet a lot so I'm aggressive Gus". But then things get friggin stupid and we're start making crap up. "I'm not feeling particularly religious and so... I'm 'secular Gus'". We've also come up with like "hit in the face Gus" and the ever popular "dudy pants Gus". No offense to Gus, we love the guy. We all felt bad when he got smoked by Brad Booth when he had pocket nines (Bradders had the bullets).

Hand Baloney:
The poopies really hit the fan when we started going on about the Jennifer Harman commercial though.

(Before the Flop)
"T": C'MON ACES! C'MON ACES! C'MONNNNNN ACES!!!!!
(Flop hits showing an ace)
"T": YEAH YEAH YEAH ACES YEAHAHAHAHAHAAHHHAHHAAAAAAAA YEA!!!!!!!!!!!
Me: C'mon bud, gimme a sign. Just a little something.
("T" picks his nose and rubs it all over the ace. Afterwards he proceeds to wear a cowboy hat and fire off his guns multiple times)
"T": YEEEEEE-HAAAAA I PAIRED MY ACE! I PAIRED IT!!!! ALL-IN! ALL-IN!
("T" frantically pushes all of his chips in)
Me: C'mon man, just a little something.
"T": YOU CAN'T BEAT ME YOU HAVE A 7 / 2 C'MON MAN C'MON!
Me: Well, when you're beat you're beat.

We were totally peeing all over the room everywhere it was like a friggin wet t-shirt contest. More to come tomorrow probably. :)
