hand from tonight for mike l.

[Gabe]

You’re really going to like this one. I called but you didn’t pick up.

The early position player in this hand is somewhat of a landshark. He has sunglasses, but no baseball hat. I heard him say pot-odds or something once or twice.

The late position player is an older, somewhat conservative Asian woman.

I’m me, in the middle with 44.

The board is 9s 7h 4s 4c Ts.

On the river the EP player checks. I bet. The conservative woman raises. The EP calls.
I make it three bets and the woman caps. The EP quickly calls again.

We all turn over our hand. The woman has TT. The EP has Ks 5s. The EP guys, perturbed that the she raised and he had to call two more river bets, says to the conservative Asian woman: “Sometimes you just have to figure you’re beat, lady.”
