THE HAND: three players call the “Dead $8.” I raise to $40 in the BB with KdTd. The live straddle and the “Dead $8” fold but the first two callers call it. (The third one folds.) So three ways to
FLOP: Jh6c3h (pot: $130, 3-ways) I check. The other two check as well.
TURN: Jh6c3h 5s (pot: $130, 3-ways)I check again. V1 goes all-in for $43. V2 folds.
I throw in a call. I think I’m usually drawing to just six outs—sometimes less (sometimes I’m drawing dead!), but I could also be ahead of course (98/78? worse-than-K-high flush draws?) and, most importantly, when it’s close, I think showing that I’ll call down with a shitty hand is better for my image than folding. Become unbluffable!
I table my hand and V immediately says “you’re not ahead.” River is an offsuit 7. Villain tables ….
