Well you can't ask for a better flop than that. My only concern is that I am not going to make any money unless someone has a 4. I'm never checking here with 5 people on the flop. I am looking to see if someone has a 4 or not. So when it comes to me, I fire off a half pot sized bet. A nice small feeler. The SB comes over the top for a check min-raise. This is terrible play but I couldn't be happier. I feel really good about getting most of the SB's stack by the time this hand ends and he's sitting with a full stack. I just flat his raise... screaming that I have a strong hand but not worried that anyone is paying attention.
TURN: 64

SB bets $0.16, Hero raises to $0.32, SB raises to $1.12, Hero raises all-in, SB calls $2.82.
I don't like his open bet here. Not because it worries me but it is much too small. I paid $0.20 on the last street... he should be charging me more than that here. I minraise him back -- a horrible play but I expect he's going to shove on me. He doesn't shove but he does make a decent raise and I get to put him all-in. He calls very quickly.
RIVER: 64

Hero wins: $8.36
Aww... now I almost feel bad. That was just really unfortunate for him. I can't even blame him for going broke now. I can still think he played parts of the hand horribly but he did manage to get all his chips in with that hand. I would have done the same thing. I don't feel too bad but I know what it's like to be screwed over on the table like that.
It was a fun little hand. It would have been funnier if the river had been a 4 and he had hit quads on me. I would have been a little frustrated but my bankroll can handle that and it would have amused me to have a double screw on the same hand.![]()
