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 :lol NH dave, bet you were loving it when he moved all in. Along similar lines one time I was playing in a 1/2 game on whill in a pot with 5 other people - I held 88. Their was a bit of money put in preflop and the flop came down JJJ. I bet out with my house not wanting to let a higher card come off for free and was called by everyone (at this point I had given it up thinking their must be bigger houses out there or indeed 4 of a kind). The turn was the fourth J. What a crappy turn - my hand is now useless and I am def beat to someone with an A in the hole, I check. Everyone else checks and the river is an A. :lol I think split pot - got out of that one cheap. Usually I would not do this as you dont want to feed the rake on a split pot but checking the rake it was maxed out so I bet all in at the split pot (120 dollars before I bet at it I might add) hoping someone got d/c or was confused by my bet. I watched in disbelief as not 1 not 2 but ALL FIVE players folded to me - some of them taking a lot of their time bank to think about it. this caused much hilarity in chat from the out of pot players along the lines of "omg" and "did you have the fifth jack jez?". Still to this day I dont understand it. dave I see you are on prima but not on the tables, Im about to head to bed soon (all night poker session) but am railbirding the big NL cash game atm. Jez
