Sometimes it seems like suckouts happen to me more often than they should. And I know that’s just the tilt talking, but it does feel that way. For that reason, it’s especially gratifying when everything works out exactly the way it should, and does so in grand form.
In the very first hand of a tourney, I’m UTG with rockets. I don’t want to spook anybody, so I limp them. Based on experience in these things, some donkus will raise for no good reason. I get a caller, and then a donkus does raise. The donkus is reraised by der uber-donkus. When the action comes back around to me we’re four-way and we havn’t even seen a flop yet, and I can still reraise, which I do, to about a third of my stack. I raise to that amount because if I get even one caller at this point, my all-in on the flop would be about a pot bet, and would probably get called.
But I don’t even have to worry about that because my reraise is reraised all in. Then one caller. Then I call. Then the final caller calls. We’re four-way all-in to the flop and I’ve got rockets.
I found myself against Jacks, A2o, and K8s. I took down the entire pot — quading up on the first hand.
