teaching the wife how to play..

[mike l.]

3-6 party poker and she has AcQc utg. she says what should i do and i say what do you think you should do and she says raise and i say ok yeah good idea. the next guy 3 bets, sb calls, her turn i say you can either reraise or call. she calls.

the flop is Q84 two diamonds. i say ok what do you want to do, she says well what should i do. i say well you have top pair top kicker but that guy reraised preflop. you could bet into him or you could check and hope he bets and then checkraise. she checks, he bets, sb calls, she checkraises, he 3 bets, sb calls. she says "ok i dont like that at all." i say "call." she calls.

the turn is a 4. she checks to the raiser who bets, sb calls, she says "can i fold?" i say "NO! you should call! call!" she says "but..but,...i dont like this..ok.." and calls.

the river is a T. im explaining and waving my arms and saying how it doesnt matter look at that pot, he could have KQ, he could have the same thing, you need to get used to paying off sometimes. sb folds out of turn, she checks, he bets, she says "oh i dont like the look of this..can we fold now?" i scream "NO DONT BE RIDICULOUS YOU HAVE TOP PAIR TOP KICKER YOU NEED TO PAY OFF, NO DONT FOLD. CALL!"

she calls. he shows KK.
