The tournament has been less wild and crazy than usual, with people folding to big bets like they should, but calling mid-size raises where they shouldn't. We've just gone from 5 to 4 players and I'm in the BB.
Party Poker No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t50 (4 handed)
Hero (t2935)
UTG <font color="purple">(bystander)</font> (t2415)
Button <font color="purple">(Ican'tfold)</font> (t1955)
SB <font color="purple">(Ismellfishy)</font> (t695)
Preflop: Hero is BB with J/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 9/images/graemlins/heart.gif.
UTG <font color="purple">(bystander)</font> folds, Button <font color="purple">(Ican'tfold)</font> calls t50, SB <font color="purple">(Ismellfishy)</font> completes, Hero checks.
Flop: (t150) 5/images/graemlins/club.gif, T/images/graemlins/heart.gif, 7/images/graemlins/spade.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
Ismellfishy bets t50, Hero calls t50, Ican'tfold calls t50.
*Ok, I just called 50 with only 3 straight-flush. Its a weak play, but I feel like they don't have anything either and I'm the chip leader.*
Turn: (t300) Q/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
Ismellfishy checks, Hero checks, Ican'tfold bets t100, Ismellfishy calls t100, Hero calls t100.
*oops, I just drew 4 straight and 4 flush. Hey, I could get something here. Got the pot odds, make the call.*
River: (t600) K/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(3 players)</font>
*I just hit the nut straight-flush. I'm afraid to check/raise because I might get a check behind me. I want to make a bet that will look like a weak bluff and get a raise.*
Ismellfishy checks, Hero bets t300, Ican'tfold folds, Ismellfishy folds.
Final Pot: t900
Should I have min bet this? 200? Maybe an anti-bluff all-in to look like a bluff? I don't think these two would call an all in, but they'd been calling when they shouldn't and trading money back and forth.
I went on to win the tourney, but still feel like a blew a golden opportunity.
