3 folds, <font color="#cc0000">Button raises to $3.5</font>, SB calls, Pokey calls.
<font color="blue">Villain is bad, but very passive preflop. This is definitely a value raise. I call, hoping for a lucky flop.</font>
Flop: 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 7[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (
$10.5, 3 players)
SB checks, Pokey checks, <font color="#cc0000">Button bets $10.5</font>, SB folds, Pokey calls.
<font color="blue">Well, I'm ahead of every hand villain could have except AK and AA. That flop bet seems too big to be a value bet, so I call. If he fires another nuke at the turn, I'll fold.</font>
Turn: J[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] (
$31.5, 2 players)
Pokey checks, Button checks.
<font color="blue">Aha! It was a c-bet, pure and simple. Time to induce a river bluff....</font>
River: 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (
$31.5, 2 players)
Pokey checks, <font color="#cc0000">Button is all-in $73.05</font>, Pokey calls.
<font color="blue">That bet made me pee myself a little bit. Of course, at my age bladder control is a constant problem....Anyways, I figured that this cannot be a value bet -- nobody plays a made hand on the turn in this way, and the odds that villain made his hand on the river are virtually nil. I suck it up and call, knowing that it's very likely this is a desperation bluff.</font>
