And.. if you're the guy holding the nut card... contain your happy dance!
Quote: PerpetualNewbieThat's actually a common maneuver. If you think nobody has the single winning card, make everyone sweat a bit and see who drops. Instead of chopping a pot 5 ways, maybe you chop it 3 ways.
I did this in a pot. There were 4 people in the hand, and the board was 3 deuces and 2 queens. After the river card made the full house, I bet, and bet confidently. Only one person dropped out. Of course, we split the pot 3 ways. The guy who dropped out was pissed, but the other two totally understand why I did it.
Quote: thlfI was playin last weekend and the most unbelievable thing happened. I get pocket aces to start so of course I stay in. I don't remember the order of the cards coming out but at the end there was 9,10,J,Q,K of diamonds sitting on the table. I initially looked and couldn't believe it. Then I look at my cards again and there it is the A of diamonds. Holy shit! Guy to my right raises all in. I insta call. Three other people behind me do the same. Nice!!!!!
What cardroom?

LOL seriously, I LOLed at this. Was this 2/4 limit? Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Quote: thlfI was at the Suncoast. Unfortunately they don't have any bonus promo's as of yet. They plan to put them in soon. It was still a decent pot though.
I don't think you would have qualified for a bonus anyway as, typically, both hole cards have to play.
