This was on UB .05-.1 so everyone at the table is basically clueless, although I haven't seen anyone get terribly out of line.

After the reraise on the flop, I figured something fishy was going on, but I wasn't about to fold for another $.90.

Ultimate Bet No-Limit Hold'em, $.10 BB (8 handed) converter (http://www.selachian.com/tools/bisonconverter/hhconverter.cgi)

MP1 ($16.94)
MP2 ($21.54)
Hero ($7.95)
Button ($3.05)
SB ($7.70)
BB ($.85)
UTG ($2.90)
UTG+1 ($4.05)

Preflop: Hero is CO with J/images/graemlins/diamond.gif, K/images/graemlins/club.gif.
UTG+1 calls $0.10, MP1 calls $0.10, MP2 calls $0.10, Hero calls $0.10, Button folds, SB completes, BB checks.

Flop: ($0.60) J/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 8/images/graemlins/club.gif, 2/images/graemlins/club.gif (7 players)
SB checks, BB checks, UTG bets $0.1, UTG+1 calls $0.10, MP1 folds, MP2 calls $0.10, Hero raises to $1, SB folds, BB folds, UTG folds, MP2 folds, Hero raises to $2.8, UTG raises to $1.9.

Turn: ($5.50) J/images/graemlins/club.gif (2 players)

River: ($5.50) 7/images/graemlins/heart.gif (2 players)

Final Pot: $5.50

I just noticed, the converter is a little screwed up. UTG acted first on the flop. So he bet, I raised, he reraised and then I put him all in.

In a 7 way limped pot, I'm not too crazy about a pair of jacks with a king kicker. This isn't really what I'm looking to flop. Yet the one guy who gives you heat is so short-stacked I guess it really doesn't matter, although I think your hand is no good here.

Poboy... That comment inadvertantly brought a smile to my face/made my day. Thanks.

I'm still sorta chuckling.

I meant that the other $.90 was less that 1/3 of the pot, so even though I had a feeling I was beat, I was just gonna pay it off.

Yeah... but it was funny because to me it was like, "I mean, if it was 1.00, I would consider folding, but hell, 90 cents, I can just skip my next soda..."

ok, I understand bets should be thought of in terms of blinds, so this is crooked thinking by me, and I dont intend to poke fun at you/others, but it was just funny as it sounded to me.

I am not still drunk from new years or anything, but I think it's sad that this is the best thing that happened to me today.
