Poker players - what do you think of this hand?
I'm playing No Limit Hold Em at Harrah's in New Orleans.
Blinds are $5 and $5 (two big blinds)
I'm dealt pocket tens in middle position.
Raise to $50
It gets folded around to the big blind who just calls. (He's short stacked)
Flop comes K 10 K.
I try not to cream my pants.
Usually on a hand like this you try to figure out how to extract the maximum amount of money possible from your opponents.
Usually by checking or betting weak and then coming back over the top of someone trying to steal the pot.
I was heads up against a guy with about $150 left....so I just bet enough to put him all in. (I'm hoping he has a hand like AK, there's no way you fold that hand on this flop)
He calls without taking half a second to think about it.
We flip the cards over....he has AJ!!!!!!
WTF was he thinking???? As quickly as he called I thought for sure he had a K and made a set on the flop.
Anyways
Turn comes J (K 10 K)
He has two pair but I still have a full house.....I'm already spending the money in my mind.
River comes K (J K 10 K)
He ends up with Kings full of Jacks to beat my Kings full of Tens.....that had to be the worst suck out of my life.
Of course this guy didn't last very long playing the way he did, he busted out about 45 minutes later and left....unfortunately I didn't catch a hand for quite some time after that so someone else got to relieve him of his chips.
