This is a painful hand, and shows how dangerous aces are against middle and low pairs. We’ll be looking at the hand from sifoka’s perspective, he is dealt
. Pre-flop:
RAISE acousticmann to $2
RAISE sifoka to $6
CALL acousticmann $4
You’ve got what you wanted. A raise in front of you, a hefty re-raise and a call. Not bad, decent action in a $0.25/$0.50 No Limit Hold’em game, even at Full Tilt.
Anyway, the flop rolls off, and it’s a good one. Flush draw that may have hit something, and some dangerous straight-are middle cards too:
Our man sifoka bets right into it, the right play — and is probably quite happy to see a re-raise. He shoves it in (again, the right play), and sees the bad news: a set.
BET sifoka $8
RAISE acousticmann to $20
ALL-IN sifoka $43.25
CALL acousticmann $23.25
