Default $15-30, a bad guess



$15-30. A fun game to watch. Every pot has n minus one players in it, unless I play and then it has n.


It's a seven-handed game and three players lobby at the same time, including the guy on my right (RHO) who was only up for a minute, and who is still in shock from missing his blind because the other two had lobbied right after he did. He can't wait to post both blinds behind the button, even though it's four-handed now.(I think a correcter play would have been to straddle.) :-)


He checks his preflop post, and I raise on the button with A-5 suited. All call. Fourway.


Flop: K-K-5 with two clubs. I don't like the way the small blind checks. The others check too. I bet. The small blind calls and I'm not sure what he's trying to act like, or if he's acting, or what. But he's doing something down there. The big blind folds. RHO calls.


Turn card: an offsuit six. I still don't like the way the small blind checks. RHO checks. And this is where I think money can be made, by guessing right here more than the other guys, bet or check. I guess check.


River comes the ten of clubs. The board is Kc-Ks-5c, 6h, 10c. This time I like the way the small blind checks, and especially that he does check, but that means that bugger hornshwaggered me, doing all that stuff with nothing, not even a flush draw, so I'd check the turn. Shit! I'm pretty sure I have him beat and I'm planning to bet the river as soon as RHO checks. Woops! RHO bets out. Small blind indicates that he will be folding.


I'm lost so I call. SB folds. RHO turns over 10s-3d for a rivered pair of tens.


Okay, let's do a show of hands. Who here loves to play hold'em?
