7-handed, I open AJo UTG to $8. Two calls. Button goes all-in for $58. Blinds fold.
RESULT: I raise to $158. I decide that I’m almost certainly getting the right price with the $25 overlay, and if not, showing that I can go $158 preflop with AJo is gonna make up in table image whatever minor -EV the play is in isolation. But…….
……UTG2 cold-calls my $158 and he has $190 behind. *
RECORD SCRATCH* Well this is not good at all! Everyone else folds. 3-ways to a flop, one all-in:
FLOP: J62r (pot: $340 total, $200 of which is a side-pot between me and UTG2)
I check, thinking that I’m never folding regardless, and this is the best way to get money out of him if I’m ahead (if he has 99 or AK). But he checks.
TURN: J62r Kr (pot: $340 total, $200 of which is a side-pot between me and UTG2) Well one of the hands I put him on just moved ahead of me. I think I’m checking to fold here now? Is that too nitty???
I check but he checks back. Wtf did this dude call me with? A mid pocket pair?
RIVER: J62 K
Ar (pot: $340 total, $200 of which is a side-pot between me and UTG2)
Well now I just want to get SOME money out of him, so I bet $100, and….
….he raises all-in to $190. **** MY LIFE, I can literally never be good here—he’s always gonna have
at worst AK—but god damn, there’s $630 out there and only $90 more to me and I have 2-pair, I can’t fold this, I call.
