I have put a live $2 small blind on the button because someone got up on their button hand. Before I look at my cads I figure I will play almost any two in this situation in this loose passive game.
I get 3c-4d! The whole while the action is coming towards I am thinking what the heck can I make with this crap?
Anyway, all players limp in front of me, so I call.
I hadn't played a hand in two laps, had been mucking my small blind all night, everyone was noticing how squeaky tight I am... also,to be perfectly honest I *wanted to play a hand*, and figured this play was close enough to not matter cuz I play ok after the flop. Now that I think about it part of the reason I play ok after the flop is that I usually have good cards. With cards like these maybe I don't play so well after the flop. We will see.
Anyway, small blind calls, bb checks. 9 players, $36 in the pot.
FLOP:
5h-6s-7h
Well...
If I'm ahead its not by much as every 4,8, and 9 is gonna come along in this big pot, as well as heart draws.
Miracle of miracles, its checked to me... what to do???
I check. No reasonable draw will fold here. I am hoping a brick hits the turn, like a Kc and I can raise a bettor on my right to force out as many draws as possible.
TURN:
5h-6s-7h--4s
Checked to lady in EP who bets, next to act calls, all fold to me, I fold...
