A poker question that should definitely interest you all this week
Question: You are dealt AK suited. You are in the seat just after the big blind. You raise to 6 euro. Still you get good 5 callers. The board opens up K J 6. No flush draw for you but two hearts so possibility of another flush draw. I raised 20 euro(still less then the whole pot) everyone folded bar 1. Next came another random card not a heart or a high card. I raised another 20. Same person called. Next came another jack, not of a third heart. He pushed all in, for another 40 euro… What did he have? Was I right to call? How would you have played the hand in the first place ?
Answer: The reasonable assumption would be that the other guy hit trip jacks or a boat…I’d suspect J-blank as the only thing that makes sense unless he was either slow-playing some other monster hand (AA, AJh, KK, KJ or 66) or making a huge bluff off chasing a busted flush (the former more likely, especially if the guy wasn’t not one of the blinds). Your play wasn’t bad, it just looks like you lost it on the river.
