Playing $10-50 spread limit. Table is loose, but passive for the most part, especially preflop. One ante, no blinds as we are playing dealer's choice. This is holdem.
UTG the Econ Prof bets $10. Accountant, Librarian and Counselor call. Psychologist (BigBeitzim) raises to $35 with A/images/graemlins/diamond.gif 4/images/graemlins/diamond.gif. I'd been taking down pots with semi-bluffs all night, but showing only the nuts and getting good respect, so this LAG play was a sound one. Physician and Stockbrocker (dealer) call, as does Accountant. Librarian folds (when she bets, I fold TPTK because she never bets without a monster) and counselor calls.
Flop is rags with one /images/graemlins/diamond.gif. Checked to me, and I bet $25, with the plan of betting $50 on the river to finish out what is now likely a total bluff. Physician (tight, semi-aggressive) folds, Stockbroker calls, Econ Prof (tricky sometimes) calls, Accountant (LAG) and Counselor (Loose-passive) fold.
Turn is another rag, with no /images/graemlins/diamond.gif. Econ Prof springs to life and bets $50. I've never seen him do this on a total bluff, so I can be pretty sure he has my A-no kicker beat. Forgetting stockbroker is still in the hand, I fold face up. Physician has also missed this and asks for a bit of rabbit hunting. Broker, also not realizing Econ was still in the hand turns the river, shows his cards then drags the pot (happens fairly quickly).
Econ prof objects strenuously and argues the pot is his because the $50 was never called. Everyone at the table (this is a friendly game usually) suggests either a split pot or to just play out the hand (with or without the $50 bet called by Broker). Ecob will accept nothing of the sort. For his part, Broker says he planned to raise with middle pair, which is not unlikely. Econ prof argues the hand would have played out differently (I had him misread, he was on a total bluff) and Broker gives in, saying it was his error in showing his cards, but this clearly ticked him (and several others) off.
How should this have been resolved once the next card was dealt and Broker showed?
Oh, and I made one eansy-weansy change to what really happened. The game was a 10-cent to 50 cent spread limit, and not 10 dollars to 50 dollars, so this conflict was over about three bucks.
