Purple raises to $40 total.

Ponder?

 

[Ponder]

I call.
I can't lose with a hand like this.

 

[hank solo]

Ponder calls,
Father Luke folds,
Gerard K H Love folds,
hoochmonkey9 calls,
Purple raises to $40,
Ponder calls,

Action back on hoochmonkey9 - $20 more to call.
Fold, call or raise?

 

[hoochmonkey9]

I am pretending the cards in my hand are extremely hot and I'm dropping them quickly lest they burn me.
that means I fold.

 

[hank solo]

Okay, 2 players, Purple and Ponder.
Pot is 100.

Burning 1 card.
Here's the flop:

2 of Diamonds,
Jack of Diamonds,
9 of Hearts.

Action on Purple.

 

[Purple Stickpin]

[Ponder]

I raise: $295

 

[Purple Stickpin]

See your $295 and raise $500.

 

[Ponder]

I call.

 

[roni]

what a sum!
but what could you possibly have yet?
i wonder...

 

[Father Luke]

I'm guessing One has a high pair.
And the other has a flush draw. Or he's bluffing.

I won't name names so as to keep it interesting, and
to see how table talk goes over. . .

Very good game.

 

[hank solo]

Purple, did you raise to $500 total
or $295 + another $500?


This is a big pot!

 

[Father Luke]

See your $295 and raise $500.

Purple, did you raise to $500 total
or $295 + another $500?


This is a big pot!

See your $295 and raise $500 sounds like
five hundred more to me.

Teddy KGB has nothing on these guys.

 

[hank solo]

It does to me too, but I need to be sure to update my spreadsheet ;)

 

[Purple Stickpin]

As usual, FL is correct. See the $295 and raise $500. Sorry to be so unclear. ;)

 

[Gerard K H Love]

Oh, it's clear alright. I know I cleared out long ago.
