Default Borgata 20 40

A hand I witnessed a little while ago...

7 handed game or so. I muck under the gun and my friend to my left (we'll call him Larry) raises. I sweat his cards and see two black 10's. Small blind who I don't know very well but seems to be very fishy calls, big blind who is very good also calls.

Flop: 9s 8s 7s. Small blind leads. Big blind calls, Larry raises, small blind calls, big blind 3 bets, Larry caps it, small blind calls, big blind calls.

Turn: Ah. Small blind checks, big blind bets, Larry raises, small blind calls, big blind 3 bets, Larry calls, small blind calls.

River: 5s. Checked to Larry who confidently bets. His face looks even more confident when the big blind uncharacteristically yells "motherfker!!" as Larry's 8 red chips hit the felt.

How did Larry play this hand?

Was this guy Larry a maniac? It seems as tho he grossly over played his hand. Did he think he had a straight flush on the river? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I agree with sthief (obviously). Anyway the small blind and big blind both call. Big blind shows QsJs and takes it down.

Did anyone get to see his hand?

Anyway, I slow down long before Larry did and muck the river most likely. Anything that was jamming the flop got there or already was there.

Put it this way. AS soon as Larry showed black 10's the guy mucked. I upgraded him to monster fish after this hand.

I think "slowing down" is a huge understatement. I think raising the flop,calling the 3 bet then mucking the turn would probably be best.
