"I then didn't get seriously involved in a hand for about a half-hour. That same opponent won a $2,000-plus pot and was betting frequently with great confidence, including raising me off my blind twice. I finally picked up a hand in a pot in which he had made it $50 to go. I merely called while holding Q-Q-J-10, as did two other players. In four-way action, the flop came 10-9-3 rainbow. He bet $100 and the other two players folded around to me.
I called. Note that I had the wrong amount of chips to make the $400 come-bluff raise, since he might reraise the pot (and I would have to fold, having about $900 left).
A 10 hit the turn, giving me trip tens with a not-so-good kicker. He bet the pot, $400 plus. What would you do with my hand with about $1,300 remaining?
On the National Archives building it says, "The past is prologue." From what you have seen above, do you think he is bluffing or steaming, or has something like pocket aces again?
I made the cowardly fold. I might well have had the best hand, but I had only $150 invested in the pot at that point. If I put in $400 more, I might end up losing my hard-earned $1,300. The only river cards that would really make me feel warm and fuzzy would be a queen or the case 10 (three outs).
You might think that if he really had a full house (or trip tens with a big kicker), he might check to me trying to trap me. Maybe. Generally, it is not part of my game plan to be a hero and catch other players' (especially winning players) big bluffs - especially when I have a lot to lose if I'm wrong. It is the bottom line that matters.
Otherwise put, rather than risk losing an additional $1,300 on this hand, I'd rather concede my $150 investment and save the rest of my money to go on to greener pastures."
I just can't fcking believe his fold. If he decided to play from the flop on, the T on the turn was the second best cards he's looking for (straights would be his gin cards). If he couldn't afford to lose $1300 (when he's much more likely ahead then behind) where the blinds were $10/$15 he need to learn something called "BR management".
Weak-tight puzzies!

How about Jacks?
