Just lost a big pot vs the guy on my right I thought was 'good'.
He opens utg and I 3bt him again, (3/4times already) and as expected Steve finds a cold 4 MP2, 'Ludo' finds a call, and I 5bt to induce Steve..
We have
btw.
He thinks about it.. Takes a few minutes and after a long time decides on a fold. Ludo peels (hero).
FLOP
I check back genuinely concerned he can have KK/ JJ as I never expected him to cold call, ever.
TURN
, he leads for 3k into 5k. I take a little while.. (dont want to seem to eager) and flick in the call.
RIVER
He leads for 8k, and I think through the options..
Fold - were beaten by a big part of his value range.. He can have AK, but we also block it..
Call - we've checked to induce, and induced... Its hard to have strong hands here....
Raise - we've shown him twice we have checked flops with good hands, its going to be really hard to call with anything <flush.
I decide on the 'safer' option (but doesn't include a sick fold) and call.
To be shown
and have Steve shout "oh I had 88, that's sick"
Lolz.
Dented, damaged, spend 10mins listening to Ludo and Steve discuss the merits of raise/ call/ calling 78cc pre.....oop.
