an ACES story I had been playing a 200buy in NL ring game for about 6 hours. THe whole night i coulnt pick any decent size pots. My stack had been flirting around 200 the whole night, untill.......A big action player named MAtt live straddles the blind to 8 dollars. (note- this is a big action game with a lot of preflop raising..i am the shortes stack) So i look down and see AA, I limp in knowing that if no one raises Matt will try and steal the blinds. So 2 people limp and it gets to the button who makes it 25 to go...big blind calls and so does MAtt, I pretend to ponder the call and then act like im tired and announce "im all in" for about 210 more. The button calls imeadiatly, and the big blind(whom i know very well and is on tilt) starts thinking about calling. At this point this is all the action I want from these aces, so i say to the blind.."I am smart enough to do this" He finally folds and so does MATT, the button flips KK and gets no help on the flop 773jQ..i take it down! THe big blind then told me he had QQ and would have beat me with is set...so had i not made that comment, i might have lost. I took my 300 winnings and left with my buddy who made 800.....ACES saved the day
