<font color="blue">This table is awful. There are literally three players with VPIPs over 50%. A preflop raise will not isolate, will result in two or three callers, and will leave me with a weakish hand against a wide field, and with no idea of where I stand. I limp behind.</font>

<font color="#cc0000">SB bets $2</font>, BB folds, UTG calls, <font color="#cc0000">Pokey raises to $7</font>, CO calls, SB calls, <font color="#cc0000">UTG raises to $22</font>, Pokey calls, CO folds, SB calls.
<font color="blue">What's this? An OESD? I raise for value, but UTG (who is actually a good player) reraises. I call, knowing I'm behind, knowing that I've got a good draw, knowing that if I hit it'll be the absolute nuts, and knowing that my hand will be stealthy enough to stack UTG at least.</font>

$78, 3 players)
SB checks, <font color="#cc0000">UTG bets $55</font>, Pokey calls, SB calls.
<font color="blue">Bonzai! I hit my straight and UTG bets much of his stack. I smooth-call to try and entice SB to call as well (which he does, the pathetic little darlin').</font>

Uncalled bets: $41.35 returned to UTG.
<font color="blue">Easiest call ever. Nothing like having someone bet into you when you've got the immortal nuts, eh?</font>

<font color="blue">Honestly, when he pushed the river I started to worry that this would be a tie. I just couldn't imagine a tight player like UTG going this far and this hard against a TAG (moi) without the nuts. I was wrong. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]</font>
