Erratic Betting from Home Game Hero

With no raise in front of him, John Baca moved all in before the flop for 11,450 (more than 38 big blinds).

Action folded around to the button who made the huge call.

Baca: {A-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds}
Button: {10-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}

The board came {J-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {7-Spades} {7-Diamonds} giving Baca an ace-high diamond flush on the river.

On the very next hand, Baca limped into the pot and a player in middle position raised to 1,100. Action folded back around to Baca, who made the call.

The flop came {10-Diamonds} {9-Hearts} {4-Spades} . Baca bet 1,000 and the player in middle postion called. The turn brought the {9-Diamonds} and both players checked. The river was the {3-Spades} . Baca bet 6,000 into the 4,800 pot.

His opponent folded and Baca flashed {9-Clubs} {9-Spades} for quads.

Baca was sent here via a pool collected in his home game. Although his betting patterns may seem erratic, this home game hero is almost back to his starting stack with 25,600
