Hahaha okay I love this game. You can annoy your opponents so much with the emoji's and then overbetting. I'm up more than $115 atm on this game. :f_love:

Well it went preflop open, SB and BB call. Flop decided to cbet (which could be mistake) and turn I potted and SB shoved. But point being my hand still had 40% equity versus his set so no brainer pot-call to me.

Well, it would have looked worse against players drawing two, three or none.

Is open-limping common in 5CD cash? In tournaments, limping plus drawing one often suggests a flush or straight draw, but some people like to play bad two pairs that way too.

It isn't all that common, but it's lovely when you find it.
The ones I really like are the ones that limp/fold.

I've recently pretty much stopped all pre-draw calls. I'll raise, either first-in or over limpers, or I'll 3Bet, but calling would be rare now unless multi-way with a decent flush draw, and direct odds to call.

Very nice. Was there any kind of big hand reward?

Some Days Boredom Pays Off

I was planning a long bus trip tomorrow, and noticed that there was a seat at a micro-stakes 2-7 triple draw table

it was nice enough to draw the nuts, but even nice when an opponent drew a 7-low as well. In fairness, I would have capped with his hand as well.

PokerStars, 2-7 Triple Draw Limit - $0.10/$0.20 - 6 players

fco-luna (UTG): $0.23 (2 bb)
Tu3b (MP): $4.95 (50 bb)
VorpalF2F (CO): $4.01 (40 bb)
1aisha (BU): $2.75 (28 bb)
Slava14155 (SB): $4.11 (41 bb)
ManiacPower (BB): $2.98 (30 bb)

Deal: ($0.15) Hero (VorpalF2F) is CO with 7♥:A♠:5♦:2♦:3♣:
1 fold, Tu3b (MP) raises to $0.20, VorpalF2F (CO) 3-bets to $0.30, 3 players fold, Tu3b (MP) 4-bets to $0.40, VorpalF2F (CO) calls $0.10

Draw One: ($0.95) 7♥:5♦:2♦:3♣:4♣: (2 players)
Tu3b (MP) draws 1, VorpalF2F (CO) draws A♠:
Tu3b (MP) bets $0.10, VorpalF2F (CO) raises to $0.20, Tu3b (MP) calls $0.10

Draw Two: ($1.35) 7♥:5♦:2♦:3♣:4♣: (2 players)
Tu3b (MP) draws 1, VorpalF2F (CO) stands pat
Tu3b (MP) checks, VorpalF2F (CO) bets $0.20, Tu3b (MP) calls $0.20

Draw Three: ($1.75) 7♥:5♦:2♦:3♣:4♣: (2 players)
Tu3b (MP) draws 1, VorpalF2F (CO) stands pat
Tu3b (MP) bets $0.20, VorpalF2F (CO) raises to $0.40, Tu3b (MP) raises to $0.60, VorpalF2F (CO) raises to $0.80, Tu3b (MP) calls $0.20

Total pot: $3.35 (Rake: $0.10)

Showdown:
VorpalF2F (CO) shows 7♥:5♦:2♦:3♣:4♣: (7-5-4-3-2) <<< the nutz in this game
Tu3b (MP) mucks 2♠:7♣:5♥:3♠:6♣: (7-6-5-3-2) <<< the 3rd nuts behind only 7-6-4-3-2
VorpalF2F (CO) wins $3.25

For who is interested, villain has 18,45% equity on the 1st run and 11,89% equity on the second run due to card removal. The chance for him to win both is 2,19% - in other words, his odds to win both are 1-to-46.

I'm so glad that I didn't CR myself into oblivion here but the Hero wanted this hand shown. Obviously.

It must make you feel good that they're so afraid of you that it takes a flopped royal to beat you!

if three of a kind and a pair is a full house — would you call 4 of a kind + trips "Standing Room Only"?

I was thinking of something like "full condo", but I guess that works.
