It's a PLHE Cash game
you have £400 in front of you
you are in mid position, two limpers before you for £2
you look down at
you put in a small raise to £7 to build the pot should you hit your set
the button, a loose aggressive talkative (over talkative) player with a pretty wife calls, three of you see a flop
£24 in the pot
flop
Aaayyyyaaarrr
You bet £15 into the pot
Button calls, fishily, he's not talking, something's up
Two of you see the turn
£54 in the pot
You put in a crafty check hoping he has an ace
The by now silent fish looks at you and looks puzzled
He bets £45
Knowing you must be ahead and delighted that your check has induced a bet you re-raise the pot. He then sets you in. £800 Pot roughly.
(At this point I am moderating my own post so as not to offend blonde's rules on posting bad beats) Still, at least this fish with the beautiful wife and the talkative manner is not a blondite so I won't have to run into him again......
