I couldn't believe they kept calling me. I mean how obvious can I make my hand? I even asked them that after the hand. Another hand was similar. I had been dealt AA and raised preflop a few dollars (to avoid draws again) and somebody re-raised me. I said "I have AA you know" and went all-in. He called and lost with KK. Everyone (including him) got a laugh out of that one, I mean I TOLD him what I had!

i've made a boat with 2 7o why not play it if you're in the BB with only callers. if you get a favorable flop you're good to go. Wink


who knows why they kept called, but i have a theory.......stupidity.

One night I was dealt deuces on BB, everyone calls. I flop my set, one guy goes all-in and I called to beat his high pair. He was a little pissed because I stayed in for the flop with only deuces. I told him that if people only bets nickels and dimes, I will call.

I still tease him about that one once in a while... Laughing

I just won a S&G where a low pocket pair around the middle of the game got me the chip lead. I was dealt 5's on the big blind and no one raised it so i checked. Flop came 5 5 K. Shocked I bet about 2 times the big blind out of 2nd position since it was a pretty loose table and I knew others would call. A few called and one guy went all-in. After it was over, he showed his pocket K's for the boat and and I raked in his chips. 8)
