Why would you want to so heavily price out a potential club draw, esp. w/ your stack size?

To try to blow out some of the limpers that called. We were 6 to the flop. My memory is hazy of the hand as I was slightly drunk and it was a few weeks ago. At the time, I thought I was UTG, but with the aggro guy 2 to my right having position, I must have been in the blinds.

If he's 4-1 against don't lay him 1.5-1

Isn't that what I want to do? He has to call 200 into a 320 pot.

and ftr he probably had a weak ace and put you on KK-QQ with that flop overbet.

Yeah, I guess he put me on a bluff. I didn't think he'd risk his whole stack on that though, since he had only $20 in the pot.

On the pre-flop bet, I was trying to be a consistant 4x blind. In my buzzed state I forgot the limpers. I thought I was UTG at the time, but the aggro guy had position so I must have been in the blinds.

On the cocktail servers - the place was packed (NCAA weekend) so they were very slow in coming around.

I said right up front I was probably the worst player at the table, so it was not a joke. Not a joke on you guys, I mean.

Did you see the petite cocktail waitress with the straight, jet black hair?

LOL, are you kidding? About the only thing I remember is they all had a head.

Thinking it over some more, I must have been UTG pre-flop. Villain must have been on the button, sitting 3 to my right, not 2. I'm not used to 10-handed tables, and I only remember I was at the far end of the "straight" part, in seat 7. I could not have been drunk enough to raise $15 into a $30 pot pre-flop. Opening raise in this game had been mostly $20 to $25. Doesn't make the rest of my play in the hand any better though.

overbetting the flop like this is a bit weird, and generally not well-advised when you still have chips to play for.

turn is fine, obviously.

and if you're going to play drunk, play lower stakes than normal. especially in a game that you're still learning.
