$20-$40 Oceanside Hand
I was visiting some friends in Oceanside when I stopped by Oceans 11 to play some $20-$40. I was moved from the "must move" table to the main table when the following hand came up. I am on the button with the Ad-Jd. Five players limp in and I raise. The big blind and the limpers call so we take the flop seven-handed.
The flop was: Td-5d-2d, giving me the nuts.
The big blind bet and only a middle player called. I just called, deciding to slow play.
The turn was: 6c.
The big blind bet. The middle player raised. I 3-bet and only the middle player called.
The river was: 6h
The middle player checked. What should I do?
I will post the results later.
P.S: Despite the so-called "boom" in poker, Oceans 11 does not spread a $40-$80 game anymore. I have also noticed that Casino Arizona doesn't seem to spread the $40-$80 game either preferring a mixed $60-$120 game instead. In my opinion there has been a noticeable decline in middle limit play over the past two years. I think the "boom" in poker must be occurring at the lower limits. Any thoughts?
