Hammer Time at Foxwoods!

Grubby would be proud, sort of! I forgot to mention... my only Hammer incident at Foxwoods the other night. With a 2-7 off suit, I limp at the middle position in at my $4-8 game! One of the blinds raises to $8 and I foolishly call! I splashed the pot with two more yellow $2 Foxwoods chips and blurted out, "It's Hammer Time!!"

The flop: 7-A-J. With a bet and a raise in front of me... that scared me off and I folded my only Hammer hand. Hammer Time was over. The guy who won the pot turned over A-K.
