Check-Raise....
 

My buddy (RB), an avid poker player, just experienced the check-raise to end all check-raises.

Situation: RB recently started dating this chick, they are verging on sex.
The Goal/Pot - Eventually convincing her to have sex sans condom.

Pre-Flop Action (1st date):
Chick is 1st to act. She checks
RB bets
She calls (they hook up a little, looking good though, pot is right).

Flop Action (2nd date):
Chick checks
RB bets again
She calls (they hook up a lot more, RB verging on sex).

Turn Action (3rd date):
Chick checks
RB bets again (starts talking about sex in general, working his way up to the "no condom" discussion, and eventual condom-less sex).
Chick calls (engages him in said conversation).

River Action (still 3rd date):
Chick checks (conversation still flowing, sex in the air).
RB bets big (starts talking about sex with condoms, how he hates it).
Chick check-raises - "You know, if I were to get pregnant, I would definitely keep the baby, I have a career, I'm older, and it would make sense to do that."

RB folds, knowing she has the winning hand and he'd been betting into the nuts the whole time.

If your friend didn't realize until the river where babies come from, I guess it's a good thing he didn't poker.

Re: Check-Raise....
 

So your buddy's goal was to find a chick he could knock rawhide so long as she would get an abortion when he inevitably knocked her up? Sounds like a classy guy...

The fact that she won't kill the baby is just all the more reason she should take it on the tits...

If your buddy is smart enough to know where babies come from, I assume he's smart enough to know where STDs come from, right?

Though, if he's just after some fun, he can reraise by using the Clintonian definition of "sex."

These are the type of posts that keep me coming back for more.

If pregnancy is all he's worried about, that's why god invented the back door....

isn't there a little pill that women can take? (ignoring of course unknown long-term side effects)

yeah, and there's also a little operation that guys can get that seems more in tune with the particular form of jerk in the story.

yeah, but hte hero of the story ain't the kind of guy to use wise bankroll management.
Actually i am thinking the hero of the story is the gal. Up front- but still a little loose passive- my kind of gal!
