10 handed - 2 sit outs - 8 active players 4 off the button - dealt KTo - middle position - not a hand I'm too keen on Pre Flop Sit out folds Two callers (including me) next three fold Frisky calls on the button Heniek calls on the SB wpr1 (Philossify) checks on the BB This isn't a hand I'm keen on in this position - I would usually fold it - however being a tight (and not particularly aggressive pre flop) game, I decided to limp and try and see a cheap flop. I don't like limping too much, and certainly not when the blinds are higher, but whilst the blinds are low, feel you can get away with it a little. Flop 4h Jh 9c First 3 players check I bet 65 into the pot of 100 The Button Folds Heniek (SB) calls Next 2 fold I missed the flop. A Queen gives me a straight, but I can't play for that!! With 3 checks to me and just 1 person to act after me, I make a play for the pot. Not a good move really against 4 opponents!!!! I am pleased to see the Button fold - he was the only one not to have checked before me, and it also means I will have position in any subsequent betting rounds. Heniek checked before me, then flat called after me - so I'm thinking he may have some kind of draw here - either flush or straight. Turn Qd Heniek Checks I check Well I hit the best card for me - a Queen and not a heart. I have the nuts at this point!! I check to trap. A very poor move!! If I had Heniek on a flush draw, I don't want to give him a free card that he can beat me with - if he hits and beats me, then he will beat, if he misses and doesn't, then he won't bet!!! I should be making him pay for this card!!!! River 9s Heniek Bets 20 I raise 130 Heniek folds The 9 opens up FH (even quads) possibilities - so there are now hands that beat me - however that's not what I have Heniek on, and I feel I have this won and want to extract what I can. Henieks bet of 20 into a pot of 230, is a poor bet. If I had 23o (i.e. no hands I could beat), I may well still pay 20, just to get to see his cards. My bet of 150 is hoping for a call from Heniek, but he doesn't oblige!! My guess is that Heniek was on a Flush draw, with hearts that don't otherwise connect with the board at all. I am now the big stack at the table - things are so far going to plan :ok
