Simple 55 hand

[Barry]

I thought that this was straight forward but took a bit of abuse for it, so I'd thought that I'd let the forum decide.

Bellagio 30/60 sort of loose and sort of aggressive.

I'm 2 off the button with 55

3 limpers to me, I limp, folded to the SB who completes, BB checks.

Flop is A99 and it's checked to me and I bet.

If you don't bet this, what do you bet with?

really shouldn't go together...not betting here should be taking the abuse, not giving it.

And the action goes...

Fold, stare at the cards, fold, fold, stare at the cards, fold, fold. Just like dominos.

[Ulysses]

Yawn.

Better question- if you got berated for this you must have been called down- what did he have?

[Barry]

Nah, it was just a discussion later with some other poker players that thought it was not the best of plays.

[tolbiny]

then you won the pot, how could that be a bad play? /images/graemlins/cool.gif
