Or "The Happy Call Station Makes Good"? Thoughts?


Pacific Poker 0.25/0.50 Hold'em (9 handed)

Preflop: JerseyTom is UTG+1 with J/images/graemlins/spade.gif, 8/images/graemlins/spade.gif.
UTG calls, JerseyTom calls, UTG+2 calls, MP1 folds, MP2 calls, CO calls, Button calls, SB completes, BB checks.

I don't always play this hand, but the table has been behaving itself quite nicely (loose, passive). Even folks with AA and KK haven't been raising pre-flop...

Flop: (8 SB) A/images/graemlins/spade.gif, T/images/graemlins/club.gif, 9/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(8 players)</font>
SB checks, <font color="CC3333">BB bets</font>, UTG calls, JerseyTom calls, UTG+2 folds, MP2 calls, CO folds, <font color="CC3333">Button raises</font>, SB folds, <font color="CC3333">BB 3-bets</font>, UTG calls, JerseyTom calls, MP2 calls, <font color="CC3333">Button caps</font>, BB calls, UTG calls, JerseyTom calls, MP2 calls.

I call all these flop bets because I am drawing to the near-nuts (and the pot is getting quite large).

Turn: (14 BB) K/images/graemlins/diamond.gif <font color="blue">(5 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">BB bets</font>, UTG calls, JerseyTom calls, MP2 calls, Button calls.

The K doesn't make me happy, but it doesn't make anyone else happy either (I'm figuring BB for 2-pair and the Button has cooled off here on the turn. What are the other 2 guys chasing?)

River: (19 BB) 7/images/graemlins/heart.gif <font color="blue">(5 players)</font>
<font color="CC3333">BB bets</font>, UTG folds, JerseyTom calls, MP2 folds, Button calls.

Again, I fear only QJ (possibly from MP2 or an over-exuberant Button).

Final Pot: (22 BB)
<font color="#990066">Main Pot: 22 BB between BB, JerseyTom and Button</font> &gt; <font color="white">Pot won by BB ().</font>

Results in white below: <font color="white">
BB shows Ah Ts (two pair, aces and tens).
JerseyTom shows Js 8s (straight, seven to jack).
Button shows ?? ?? (hand histories not available at Pacific)
Outcome: JerseyTom wins 22 BB. </font>

I think a good question to ask is: Why were you in this at all if you weren't going to bet once you made your hand?

Fold preflop.

Raise the river. You have the second nuts.
