Anybody ever go this far to keep the game friendly and build goodwill?
Talking Stick's BBJ qualifier is Aces full of Tens or better beaten by quads or better. It's most often hit when somebody's got a pair 10-10 thru K-K, 3 Aces end up on the board and a player has an Ace w/ a kicker that at least ties the board.
I was playing the 4-8 as my punishment for blowing money at BJ when this hand came along:
Game's a limp-fest, I come along w/ A
2
, everyone is in when the button raises.
Flop: A-A-A. Procedure is for the floor to monitor what happens next. I bet the flop and only the button calls. The only way to hit the BBJ would be for 2 deuces come and the main reason for the button to call is bec he's got a big end hand. I decided to check turn/river and he thanked me.
To me it's worth it to give up 2 BB's for good will. But I wonder what some of you think about it.
