This is from a juicy home game featuring a LOT of loose/passive calling stations who know very little about the game and can't even judge the relative strength of their own hands.
That said the SB in this hand is a GOOD player. Due to the nature of the game this good player plays very predictably, as I do, because there is very little value in deception considering the opponents. SB usually makes pot sized bets w/ TPGK or better and sometimes draws depending on her mood. Usually a flop bet from her means a good made hand.
On to the hand. We play with two 25 cent blinds and the avg. chip stack is about $25 so there are implied odds out the wazoo. I have about $30 in front of me, SB has me covered. There are 9 players playing.
I have J /images/graemlins/club.gif 7 /images/graemlins/club.gif on the button. 3 bad players limp in and I call for the quater hoping to catch a big flop. Blinds check along and 5 of us see the flop:
Flop: K /images/graemlins/club.gif 5 /images/graemlins/club.gif 6 /images/graemlins/heart.gif (5 players, $1.25 pot)
SB bets $0.75, 2 folds, 1 late position player calls, I just call.
Turn: 8 /images/graemlins/heart.gif (3 players, $3.50)
SB bets $1.00, LP (horrible horrible player) calls, I call again.
River: Q /images/graemlins/club.gif (3 players, $6.50)
SB leads for $5 (hmmm, she does like to make weak ass bets w/ draws I think to myself), LP actually folds which is a shock to me, I have about $25 in front of me now w/ the 2nd nuts so I min. raise to $10 because I don't want to let a set or 2 pair off the hook and no one has shown SB any resistance thus far so she has no reason not to bet those hands again.
SB quickly puts me ALL-IN for $15 and change more!!!
So, How'd I do?
