and finally.....back to the cash table

Decided to try the cash table once again before I hit the road for home. The usual buy in for 200 and the usual crap for an hour or so. Hey...whatever happened to those cards I hit last night? Hmmmm...oh I see....that was LAST NIGHT! Not much is happening until I hit an 88 in early position. Now,normally I try and limp with a hand like this in early position but I decide to raise the pot to $15.00. There has already been 3 limpers in and,with the blinds there is $9.00 in there. Hell,I thought I would try at least. The next guy to act raises another $18.00. Hmmm...this could get ugly. Two other players stay in and I decide to call. The beauty flop is 8-K-7 I decide to check and the initial reraiser goes all in for his last $75.00. The other two players immediately fold and I think to myself...if this guy has KK I will puke. I seriously think about this for a couple of minutes and then the guy starts talking and trying to goad me into a call with comments like: "No guts no glory", "Now we are playing real poker" etc. He was kind of an old bully type guy with the big voice and the bigger pot belly. I put him on AA maybe AK. Like I said...if he has KK...well,that's the way it goes.....and I call with my set. He turns over AK and I clean him out as he misses the next two cards. It was great to win the pot as I made the right read but it was even greater knowing that I won with an AK earlier and won against the AK just now. What a great end to my trip.
I am going home a winner!
