We're full stacked at $.25/.50 today. It's a bomb pot, meaning each player sitting puts in a BB and we all see a flop. There are 3 players at the table, including me. Nothing notable about stack sizes, other than one opponent has $25 - 50BB. I have no notes on either player.
Since it's a bomb pot, we're looking at a flop of 3c9dQd with $1.50 in the middle. We have AsTh. I've found that more often than not, I can stab at these bomb pots and take 'em down without a fight. As it stands, we have a backdoor straight draw paired with our overcard. In other words: we don't have much.
Does that stop me? In chorus: "NO!" I take a pot sized stab: $1.50. It does nothing - I get called in both spots :-(. Womp Womp.
$6 in the middle and I see signs of life with the Jh rolling off the turn: I now have a gutter and an over, which may not be good. I check with the full intention of check / folding. However, it checks through.
$6 in the middle, and I river the nuts with the Kc, making the final runout: 3c9dQdJhKc; I have broadway locked up! My thinking is go large - VERY large - because any Ten completes the straight and I have a very hidden nuts, having backdoored it. I make a very bluffy $25 bet into the $6 pot, going for what I think is broke. My cheeky opponent decides to ship the rest of his $48.35 stack in, and my mid-stacked friend calls his $23.40 stack... WTF????
Nothing too exciting: I'm up against KTo and T8o - for two turned straights who have simple 4 straights. Not sure why my full stacked opponent felt the need to ship it, but thanks for the nice scoop of $123!!!
