When all the draws come in…

…you better fold.

Party Poker 2/4 Hold’em (10 handed) converter

Preflop: Hero is UTG+1 with 2h, 2c.
1 fold, Hero calls, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls, 2 folds, CO raises, 1 fold, SB calls $5 (All-In), 1 fold, Hero calls, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls, CO calls.

Flop: (16 SB) Ac, Td, 2s (5 players, 1 all-in)
Hero checks, UTG+2 checks, MP1 checks, CO checks.

Turn: (8 BB) 3s (5 players, 1 all-in)
Hero bets, UTG+2 calls, MP1 calls, CO folds.

River: (11 BB) 4s (4 players, 1 all-in)
Hero checks, UTG+2 bets, MP1 raises, Hero folds, UTG+2 calls $7.50 (All-In), MP1 calls.

Final Pot: 16.75 BB

SB has Ah 7h (one pair, aces).
UTG+2 has 5d 8h (straight, five high).
MP1 has 4h As (two pair, aces and fours).
Outcome: UTG+2 wins 16.75 BB.

When something like this happens you wonder if there’s anything you could have done, short of magically transforming it into a big bet game–then again, I fully expected to see MP1 to show down something better than 2 pair.

One thought on “When all the draws come in…”

  1. Bet your set on the flop. With an ace out there you will get action if anyone has one. The 85 hand would have folded and you could have won a nice pot.
