lucky bastard catches the case ace

[djr]

I thought he did have aces up on 5th. But when it got checked around to me I just couldn't help betting. Worst thing to happen is not betting and let one of the other two catch some miracle straight for free. Besides it's fun to push two-outers [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

When 5th was not raised by aces I was a little lost. I couldn't see him chasing 3rd and 4th without some kind of pair in the hole unless he was a total donk. Perhaps he was sitting on a boat and wanted to keep seat 8 in by not raising. Doubtful but we've all seen worse.

But here's a question...Now that 6th was checked around and so was 7th, should I bet? It looks like aces will call no matter what (ahead or behind), but I doubt he's raising with anything short of a boat. Is this a value bet here?


Results: I won kings up. Aces started with....3 diamonds.
