Nice hand

[dave]

Playing $0.25/$0.50 NL on prima, limp in with KJo, 6 other limpers. Flop come JKK, decide to slowplay it, no-one bets. Turn comes, board now JKKJ, everyone checks. River makes it JKKJJ. Now I'm desperately hoping someone has the other king, and the second guy goes all in (only for $15 though :( ). So I win the pot with 4 jacks. The amazing thing were the cards the other guy turned over - AT!! So he was bluffing to win just over $3, knowing that if anyone called the best he could do was a split pot. I just wish he'd had a bigger stack.

Re: Nice hand Hi everyone - ive been a lurker on the poker forum for a while now so about time i posted something :D A similar thing happened to me towards the end of a tournament a month or 2 ago. 3 callers before me, and I limped in on the big blind with 72os, flop came J33, everyone checks, next card J, once again everyone checks. River is another 3 so full house on the board, I move all in, everone folds and i show everyone my 72 os :rollin I guessed that if somebody had a J they wouldnt have let everyone have a free card on the turn, and the chances of somebody having a 3 were slim, as apart from A3 and 33, i guessed that any other starting hands containing 3s would have been folded pre-flop (and as i was on the BB nobody else could have limped in with say T3 or something). At the time without really thinking about it i kind of thought the worse that could happen was a split pot, but looking back at it, somebody could have been slowplaying AA, KK or QQ, and would have surely called, and would have beaten me, so im not sure if the way i played it was right? Maybe it was a bit too much of a risk as the pot wasnt huge (no raises after flop and turn), although it was towards the end of the tournament so the blinds were fairly big.
