Playing Seven Deuce For Fun AND Profit

Everyone knows I like to play 7-2 suited or not.  I'm just crazy that way.  Yesterday at the Moose I had two fun hands with my favorite garbage.

In the first I was on the button and had 7-2 diamonds.  I naturally raised as nobody raised in front of me making it $12 to go.  Six callers.  The flop was J-7-3 with one diamond.  It was checked to me and I made it $20 to go.  Only 3 callers this time and 1 all-in.  Oops.  The turn brought a 10.  I bet $20 again into the side pot and both guys called me.  The river was another 7.  Bingo bango bongo!  I bet another $20 and got called by both again.  The all-in player ended up having 8-9 for a straight, but I got a pretty good side pot out of the deal.

In the second hand I decided it was time to go home and that I would stradle for my last hand.  I had 7-2 offsuit and thought it was pretty funny that my last hand was my favorite.  About 6 people called again and I bumped it another $4 before the flop pretending to have a pretty good hand in my under-the-gun stradle.  The flop was 5-8-5 with 2 clubs.  Ick.  I bet $20 right out and EVERYBODY folded.  A miracle.  Naturally I had to show.  Time to go home!  I made a profit of almost $200 on the night.  Extra money for the Oregon Coast.  See you next weekend!

Worked once for me too. Had a big pot today with J/2, JT dealing. Had to show at the end to get extra action later. Ooops, be careful what you wish for, got big hands snapped when people chased assuming I had nothing.
