I Didn't Raise With the Nuts
This was one of my last sessions in Vegas. In fact, it was so late in my December trip it actually took place in January.
I was off to a rough start, and was already down about $75 when I got Ace-King of hearts in the big blind. I called a raise to $10 and it was 4-ways. As I’ve pointed out before, I rarely three-bet Ace-King in cash games and am very unlikely to do it out of position. I’m not saying that’s the right thing to do, it probably isn’t, but just pointing that out. The flop was nice: Ace-King-6, two diamonds. I checked, expecting the preflop raiser to bet, but he checked also. However the next guy bet $25 and the last guy folded. I decided to just call, thinking that a check-raise there might scare him off and perhaps just letting him bet would be the best way to get all the money in.
The preflop raiser folded and the turn was a blank. It appeared the guy was ready to bet again, so I checked. He did indeed bet—$60. I shoved for $88, he of course called. We didn’t show. The river was another 6, which I didn’t like. However, when I showed my top two, he just mucked.
I limped in with Ace-4 of spades. Four of us saw a flop that had a 4 on it (low card) and one spade. There was no betting. The turn was a second spade and I called $8. There were three of us left. I caught the flush on the river. The same guy led out $13. Next guy folded. I made it $30. The guy who bet the $13 said, “Well, it’s my last hand….” To me, that’s what someone who is about to raise would say. I was kind of hoping for a crazy shove there, seeing as how I had the stone cold nuts. But all he did was call. And he mucked when saw my hand. Good to his word, he left the game.
I limped in with Ace-2 of spades and it was three to see the flop which had two spades. Someone bet $10, there was a call and I called. The turn was a blank and same guy bet $10 again, and again we both called. The river was a spade, again giving me the nuts. The same guy bet $10. This time the next guy made it $65. It was a weird bet because the guy had only a few chips left behind. It looked like it was only some blue chips ($1 chips) and less than ten of them. Why wouldn’t he have shoved instead? Strange. The guy who kept betting $10 had plenty of chips. I decided not to re-raise, even though I had the nuts. Of course the guy would have called with his last few chips (unless he was making a crazy bluff), but I didn’t want his last ten bucks, I was $55 from the first guy. Or perhaps more if he would re-raise.
So I made the tactical decision to just call and see if the first guy would cooperate. Unfortunately, he folded. Oh well, it was worth taking a shot, risking $10 (really less) for a chance at $55 more. The guy who bet the $65 showed something like 6-5 for a pair of 5’s with no kicker. Really? Why aren’t there more players like these in my games?
Those were the three most interesting hands in a plus $100 session.
