Suicidal call on the end.

I open raise this hand pre-flop. And get a couple callers after me and flop the world. I check and the person with the 8-8 hand fires off a bet. I call this bet and hope the other player stays in. He doesn't. I check the turn, hoping for another bet but, as I should have expected, he checks behind.

The river was not a great card for me. At this point, I am sure I have to bet but don't know how much. I eventually decide to go for a full pot-sized bet in the hopes that he has an Ace and thinks I am trying to get him off. Or that he has a 9 and calls even if he thinks I might have a King.

He ends up calling with 8-8. What did he expect to be able to beat on that board? What could I possibly have? That his K-K-9-9-8 beat when the board was K-K-9-9-6?



I'll tell you all a secret. I'm never betting 7-7 in that spot.

replace "hold'em" with "omaha"

(I was trying to hurry because my movie was starting... jeeee cut me a little slack)

[liladypokerpro]

lmao and I almost asked you if you meant omaha, but I thought perhaps there was some underlying joke I was missing LOL

[dew12109]

Lol nah, I wish there were though, it'd make my statement better.
