friendly game, 9 players
0.25 / 0.50 blinds, usually just buy in with a $20.
I’m big blind & holding: Ad, Ks
call to me, Raise $2 for my slick, three callers.
Flop: Jh 3s 10h
$2 going round, 2 callers including me.
Turn: Qs
$2 bet, one fold, I raise to $5, He makes it $10.
–now, playing the board, I figure split pot worst case, but take a big shot at it-- I go all in $42.75, and he calls.
Show, he’s holding Qh Kh
…Fuck
River, Ah.
I did win most of it back from him through out the night. Thats what I get for playing loose :hang:
I’ll usually take a decent shot preflop for big slick… if I don’t get any help from the flop, I’ll slow play it or flat out fold.
Of our usual group of players, pretty much everyone will pay to see the flop, within reason. $1 preflop isn’t unusual, so I wasn’t playing it that agressive until i caught the straight.
