TexasLimitKing, Higgens43 at Full Tilt $500/$1000

October 18, 2006

Now I’m out watching TLK play in another game. From our previous experiences, we’ve found him to win just about no matter what hand he’s dealt. He just sat down with $50,000 and it’s only been about 10 minutes, but he’s already up about $9k.

Here’s his big hand of the night:

Full Tilt Poker Game #1118234837: Table Taj Mahal - $500/$1000 - Limit Hold’em - 21:22:09 ET - 2006/10/18
Seat 1: TexasLimitKing ($49,500)
Seat 5: Nizot Skizared ($47,959)
Seat 6: Frooodo ($18,966)
Seat 9: Higgins43 ($19,214)

Nizot Skizared posts the big blind of $500
The button is in seat #9

*** SUMMARY ***
Total pot $12,500 | Rake $2
Board: 7♥ 2♠ 9♦ 3♦ Q♦
Seat 1: TexasLimitKing (small blind) collected ($12,498), mucked
Seat 5: Nizot Skizared (big blind) folded before the Flop
Seat 6: Frooodo folded on the River
Seat 9: Higgins43 (button) folded on the Flop

Now if you watch the hand closely, it’s kind of difficult to know exactly what TexasLimitKing had in this situation. Judging by his preflop reraise, he may have been doing one of a few things: setting up his hand and making it look bigger than it was (small pockets), taking control with his reraise and finding out where he is in relation to the others, or he was holding big pockets (not likely based on post-flop action).

If TexasLimitKing had smaller pockets, or even medium pockets, he might have caught right off the bat. He bet right out, was raised, and then called. He may have called in order to show a little bit of weakness and keep Frooodo betting on the turn and river. TLK also just called the turn card. But what’s really odd is that he raised Frooodo’s $1000 bet to $2000 when a queen struck on the end. It’s possible that TLK had AQ or AK of diamonds and lucked out on the river, but from what I’ve seen of him, it’s not likely.

I guess the only real way we could ever find out is by asking TexasLimitKing. What on earth do you guys think that he had? Do you think that his hand even mattered? Perhaps thats why he raised on the river, and not just called.
