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.
