This was a hand that I was just thinking of. This was a while back, my first time playing a NL ring in a casino. I sit down with $120 (think it's a $200 max). This hand comes up as my second hand at the table, and I'm UTG. So this means that not only do I have virtually NO info on the other players, I am also first to act, and have no info about their hands. Anyway...
Dealt two red kings UTG. I raise to ten. Three callers. (I will note here that I normally find 1-2 NL players in casinos to be the worst of the worst. I'd usually find less callers for and UTG raise in 3-6 or 5-10.) The flop comes down Kc-Qc-6c. I lead out for $30, hoping to push out weak flush draws (I know now that flush draws would still have correct odds to call for this bet. If I indeed wanted to shut out any draws, I should have gone all in to begin with). It's raised to $80 in next seat. Guy behind her says, "Hmm, do you have the flush, or are you just drawing," and calls. I put him on a big ace with a big draw. He calls. Other PF caller folds. Back to me. I push the rest of my chips in, probably more in desperation than trying to scare anyone out of the pot. UTG+1 thinks for a minute and calls, as does UTG+3.
Thoughts, flames? Results below in white.
<font color="white"> Knowing I may be in trouble, I pray for a paired board. The turn brings a blank. UTG+1 bets big, UTG+3 thinks a while, makes another comment about a flush draw, and calls. Another blank on the river, UTG+1 fires again and UTG+3 calls. As he calls he says, "Do you have the flush? Because I do..." he flips over a 2c-5c! He called a ten dollar bet with this. She flips over Ac-3c, at best arguably marginal hand, but I believe a very weak, loose call for 5xBB. I lose all of my money very stupidly in my second hand at the table.
