I Love Novice Players (does anyone have a funnier rookie story?)
So I'm playing against this kid who's folded the nut straight and a full house before (god I love newbies) but is prone to calling large bets with nothing.
We're three-handed and I raise pre-flop 3x the BB with A/Q. He calls with K/2. Flop is 6/Q/A rainbow and I check and he checks. Turn is a Jack putting two clubs on the board. I bet about half the pot and he pushes all-in.
I ponder whether he holds K/10 but call and see him flip over K/2. He says he has a straight! I explain to him that you can't go J/Q/K/A/2 for a straight, the Ace can't be both high and low. No 10 on the river and he's out.
A straight, my god man, I'm dying here!
