How To Be A Casino Player ?
Posted by adminYou’re playing 4-8 7CS, 50-cent ante, $2 bring-in. Most of your opponents are weak-passive and easily intimidated. As a result, one player at your table (we’ll call him Steamroller) is amassing a large amount of chips by betting out or raising frequently and aggressively, especially when he has scare cards showing. You know he’s just running over the table because (a) nobody gets dealt that many good hands, and (b) he’s been called down a couple times and has shown trash hole cards. He has otherwise shown no detectable poker skill at all. Also, when he loses a big pot, or has lost several hands in a row, he gets pissed off and has to leave the table to calm down. He gives all the signs of being one of those players who thinks he is entitled to win every hand. Anyway… Your hand is (Th)(Qh)Td and there is one heart showing. The other hands have assorted medium to small cards. Steamroller, two seats to your left, is showing Jd, and there is one other small diamond showing. The bring-in is between you and Steamroller. Steamroller raises to $4 and all fold to you. You reraise. Bring-in folds. Steamroller eraises, you call. Fourth street: you catch a small, very dead brick. Steamroller catches a small live diamond. He bets. The question is, what would you do here?
