Went to a "house party" on Saturday night that turned out to be rubbish. A group of us (6 including myself) decided to have a game. Wish I'd never bothered!
1) One player went all-in pre-flop on pocket 8's and won that round. :ermmm
2) Another player called the flop (9/J/Q), turn (4) and river (Q) holding 8/3... :ermmm
3) After 4 people folded I was 1 on 1 with Dave, I'm holding A/Q. Anyway we get to the river and call the shots... both of us have Aces but he's got a King kicker. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the pot is supposed to be split equally if you draw, regardless of the kicker? :ermmm
Anyway, after much debate, 2 of us are left, we'd been playing for an hour and a half and I'd had enough by this point... I know it sounds harsh but there's nothing worse than playing poker with people who just chuck money at anything. I folded J/Q pre-flop because someone raised something like triple the big blind and had nothing... :mad: On another round we both had open-ended straights but his was the higher one, so he won on that... rubbish but what can you do!
