Had a hand a few days ago where someone called me to the river with 76 high!
It's early in a big online tourney. I've got T2s and I figure to try to steal (I'm trying to play more aggressive early on, and either build a big stack or get knocked out early). Plus, it's Doyle's hand - you gotta play it
So I raise 5xBB and get two callers. Flop comes K82 rainbow. I figure to push again, fold if I get raised, and see what comes on the turn if I get called. One guy calls, other folds.
Turn is another 2. I've got trips. I figure the chances that someone played their hand the way they have with 88 or KK or A2 (or Q2 or J2 or 82 or K2) is pretty low, so I must be ahead. I bet out again, he calls.
River is a 3. Again, no way he's still in the hand with 33. So I bet. He calls again, and shows 67s.
Not a terrible hand to start with, but by the river, the
only hands he's beating are 75, 74, 65, 64 and 54. Now, I've heard of Stuey Ungar making a call like that, and being right, but this guy? double you tee eff? :D
