The Legacy of the Hammer

Late last night, I decide to open two $25 NL tables on Party and just kind of veg out for a while. At one of the tables I happened to pull up, Chad was seated. I didn't realize it until about three hands in. Sure enough, Drizztdj showed up a while later and we had a mini-blogger table going.

On the other table, I wound up being joined by Sir Waffle, MisterD2U, and THG. So there I was, playing two blogger tables at the same time! All I needed to do was fire up an O8 table to complete the trifecta.

Now behold the awesome power of the hammer: MisterD2U raised one limper from late position to $2. I was in the SB with the black kings, debating how I wanted to play them. I opted just to call, knowing that the limper would come along too (I did not see him fold to a single raise all night). The flop was the hammer special: 2-7-2 with two spades. I led out for 2/3 of the pot, hoping to get raised by MisterD2U. Instead, he typed into the chat:

MisterD2U: any other table

and then folded. Boooooooo.
