3 folds, I do my standard size steal raise to 3.5$ OTB w
[Qc] (Stack 237$). I like this size bet when first in LP because:
1) it tempts blinds to call with mediocre hands against my monsters
2) makes the CB cheaper when I hold more average hands (and still seem to work just as well)
Anyway, smallblind (211$ - 60/24 donkish) calls. Bigblind goes All In w 18.77$. I considered raising, but forgot about the double stacks and just flatcalled (?!). Smallblind calls.
Flop
[7s][3h] - 56$.
Smallblind checks, I bet 35$ (?!), he min raises to 70$. I'm beat by AA, KK, 99, 77, 33. Ahead of JJ, TT and possibly other weak hands he might have connected with. Tough spot, but I call (?!).
Turn [10d] - 196$. He has 123$ left, I cover.
I check, he bet 16$ (what???). Is that really weak or is he trying to milk me? I decide not to push, but can't possibly fold to that and call hoping for a cheap showdown.
River
- 228$. Hate this hand. I check, he bets 16$ again. I call and have to admit I'm happy getting a showdown without being all in! (116$ left)![The Ace of Spades [As]](https://www.pofex.com/images/smilies/As.gif)
