Proudest Poker Moment in My Life

[deadmeat]

After Easter Dinner, my family of degenerates decide to have a poker game. The skill level in this varies from some people not remembering if a flush beats a straight to a few people that plays 2 hours+ a day, but most people are fairly decent, straight forward players. There are 15 people, so we have 1 table of 7 and one of 8.

I pick up AA as second to act and raise to 4XBB. A new player that I have been teaching for a few months calls from the Small Blind, and everyone else folds (I have double the stack of the villian) The Flop comes Q 8 4 rainbow and villian checks. I bet 1/3 of Villians stack, and she check raises all in. I stupidly call and double her up with her 88.

About 30 minutes later, down to 5 people at the final table. I get kk and again raise 4XBB as the first to enter the pot. The same Villian calls from the Big Blind. Flop comes J 7 4 rainbow, villian checks. I bet 1/3 of my stack and villian(who has me covered by a little) check raises all-in. I think a while and fold.

While tucking my 11 year old daughter into bed that night, she says "Dad, you never asked me what I had in the hand that I check raised you and you folded." I told her that I knew that she had hit trips as she was easy to read. She then says, "Dad, I had Q6 offsuit, and I had waited for those conditions to happen every since the first hand." So I ask her how in the world she had come up with check raise bluffing, as it is a fairly advanced concept and I knew that she had never read any poker books. She said that she had never heard of it, but had noticed that it would work under the right conditions, and the only 2 people that she would even consider it against was me and her uncle (who also is very observant and plays well)

So my proudest poker moment comes from the hours I have spent teaching my children PF hands, pot odds, counting outs, etc. Getting PWNED by my 11 year old daughter, and realizing that she is already a lot sharper than 95% of the people I play against, and knowing that she grasps these concepts (Probably better than I do) can make any father proud.

From one father to another:



Tears of pride and joy. I can't wait to get pwned by Emma.

Soemthing about "family of degenerates" and "check raised all in by my 11 year old daughter" that still has me laughing.
