Here's a no-limit 7-card stud hand I was playing about an hour before I woke up. I've got about $650 in front of me and have my opponents covered.
The low-card brings it in. A couple other players call. And I call in last position with (8,9)J.
The next cards are dealt. My opponents all catch blanks and I pair my doorcard to show an open pair of Jacks. I bet about $50 and get called in a couple places.
It's sixth street and my hand is (8,9)J,J,rag,J. I go all-in with my remaining $600 (six black chips). I get called in one place by my opponent who is holding (x,x)rag,rag,rag,7-blue.
The river cards are dealt. I don't improve and showdown my trip Jacks. My opponent shows that he caught a blue deuce on the river and takes the pot. I'm confused about why his hand is declared the winner but don't ask for it to be explained to me.
Here's my question. Should I be eating really big pieces of choclate cake just an hour before going to bed? Or should I eat even more?
