I'll call, check/fold the flop if you miss your card.

Re. it will cost 4 bets to see the flop
I was in for one bet before the chip heaving contest started.
If it were 4 bets to me cold it would be a questionable call even if I knew 7 others would be coming along for the ride. |

Re: Typo . . .
It was 3s.
Replace "deuces" with "treys". - Or crabs if you prefer. :-) |

Thank you . . .
Well put.
Minor aside: this site does not allow for a 4th raise (5th bet) but point taken; this would be cause for a possible exception to the "this is a no-brain call" theme. Question . . . One of the others answered tongue-in-cheek that among the few things that would convince him to fold would be if he saw one of the two outstandig 3s exposed prior to the action getting back to him. For those who consider this to be a really close decision - would the fact that the fourteen cards held by the seven other callers are less likely than average to include a 3 ? If we agree that this is a reasonable inference does this convert a close decision into an easy call ? That elusive flopped set will become far less elusive not to mention that "peeling one off" when you miss the flop will be a much more profitable play. Does anyone think this matters much ? I am reminded of a play I saw in a 15/30 game at the TAJ - UTG raised, and all called around to the button He paused then made it 3 bets. All called around to the cutoff who capped. A gargantuan pot resulted; the final board was 3-2-K-A-2 Care to guess the three hands that were exposed at the showdown ? Answer to follow as well as the result of the hand that started this whole thing. - The result is somewhat interesting but my primary reason for including it is to make my "Party is rigged" claim as I was requested to do by a previous poster. As to the requirement of a bad beat story - well . . . This is not my first post so I guess that ship sailed. |

Re: Thank you . . .
I say that 33 started it, on the river AA, KK, and 22 was exposed.

And the winner is . . .
or was - pocket deuces.
A strong showing was made by pocket 3s while AK was never really in the hunt. AK of course was the UTG raisor. 33 was the button; and our winner was the big blnd. If you spend enough time in AC you will eventually be pulled aside by "AK" and told about this hand; he says he is sure there was cheating but he can't "prove" it. (Sigh) Later that night I asked the two of them (both of whom are a bit rockish) if they had had a premonition. They both gave almost identical answers - their premonition was that it was extremely unlikely that anyone was holding on of their set cards and since they were getting almost proper odds to call and try to flop a set why not build a pot since their chances of hitting the flop were far better than the standard ~12%. If only the winner had said it I might have shrugged it off as crowing but when they both made the same remark it did get me to thinking and it made alot of sense; it still does. Oh, by the way - I called with the 3s, flopped a set and won a nice pot. (OK, a very nice pot) I didn't cap it preflop because I did not want to take the bet away from either of the other two; if I hit my hand I want very much to be bet into - maybe even have it come to me already bet and raised. This may or may not have been the right approach but since I was almost sure it would get capped with or without my help I figured better to play meek. |
