I'm in a 10-20 game, the texture of which is constantly changing but is currently quite sloppy due to a loose aggressive moron (LAM) who goes on tilt under a variety of circumstances, including winning several hands in a row.
Anyway, I am in middle position when LAM straddles the blind and I find black 3s in the pocket and call. Four players behind me call. It gets to the small blind, who says "I can raise this" and does so; Big blind folds. Everyone else, of course, calls. We see the flop 8 ways (x$30).
Before the flop falls, the man sitting next to me, a solid player who folded says "if you can call it, why not raise it." I told him that I was pretty sure it would be raised behind me and that the hand is highly speculative. I let him sweat my pocket 3s and he agrees about the speculative part.
When the flop came 3h3d-x his eyes almost popped out of his head. I could only manage to get another $40 into the pot, which was fine.
I enjoyed this hand very much and just wanted to share.
