This Guy Could Have Like Anything

28 players remaining in the FTP Friday Night Fight, 27 places pay. As soon as I saw this flop, I told myself that if the pre-flop raiser made a continuation bet I’d have to either check-call or check-fold. I just didn’t see him betting this board into two players with anything that would fold to a raise.

The caller was a different story. He was much too loose pre-flop, and I felt like his small bet could represent almost anything: a weak pair, a total bluff…. “This guy could have like anything- easy shove,” I told myself as I dragged the bet slider to “All In.”

Shame, it was a nice turn, too. I guess someone else went out on the same hand, because I was actually awarded 27th place!

  1. “This Guy Could Have Like Anything”

    Is this what you say to yourself after mustering enough courage to confront that waifish gay prostitute you’ve had your eyes on? Helluva turn though.

  2. I’m no tournament expert but even with 5:1 odds I think calling pre on the bubble is spewy with 19bbs.

    I do like the c/shove as played though if he calls too wide pre, no other option.

    fun turn at least though.
