The BB, for those of you who dont know is a forced bet. Twice every ten hands, you are forced to put money in the pot without seeing your cards first. They do this to make sure theres always action and to put some randomness into the game. ** Dealing down cards ** Dealt to snapple154 [ Th, 9c ] joel42 calls (0.50) Alright, with this hand, its a pretty good hand to have on a forced bet because you have some possibilities, I would never play this for .50 cents, but since the pot hasnt been raised, I get to see a "free flop". jkeena1012 folds. b_savage calls (0.50) Tinytarte folds. Rocketman84 folds. yh0518 calls (0.25) snapple154 checks. ** Dealing Flop ** : [ 9h, 7c, Ts ] Alright, I just flopped top two pairs....im not gonna slow-play this, Im gonna start betting and hope people call me. yh0518 checks. snapple154 bets (0.50)joel42 calls (0.50) b_savage calls (0.50) yh0518 calls (0.50) ** Dealing Turn ** : [ Ac ] I am thrilled this card comes. People at these tables will play an ace like its the holy grail. Im confident someone now has a pair of aces and is oblivious to my two pair. yh0518 checks. snapple154 bets (1) joel42 folds. b_savage calls (1) yh0518 folds. ** Dealing River ** : [ 8s ] I did not want to see this card. This makes the possibility of a straight very real. Brutal...absolutely brutal. But life goes on. I'll bet it, if he rasies me, I'll know that he hit his straight. snapple154 bets (1) b_savage raises (2) to 2 snapple154 calls (1) This was MY mistake, I knew he hit a straight but couldnt bring myself to lay down my hand. It was a very poor play by me. Especially considering I knew if he re-raised, that means he hit his straight. However, the guy was on an INSIDE STRAIGHT DRAW. HE HAD AN 8% CHANCE OF GETTING HIS 8 TO COMPLETE HIS STRAIGHT!!! Alas, life goes on. ** Summary ** Main Pot: $9.50 | Rake: $0.50 Board: [ 9h 7c Ts Ac 8s ] b_savage balance $23.50, bet $4, collected $9.50, net +$5.50 [ Js Qd ] [ a straight, eight to queen -- Qd,Js,Ts,9h,8s ] snapple154 balance $11, lost $4 [ Th 9c ] [ two pairs, tens and nines -- Ac,Th,Ts,9c,9h ]
