Breaking Badugi
This hand happened last night after my post and it’s an example of break strength. When I raised here I fully expected a fold or two. Not only do I not get any folds but UTG takes 3 and the SB comes along to draw 2 every street.
The reason I left the names in is so a certain someone can see the hand. The BTN questioned my play saying “what a weird thing to do.. stand pat, raise and then draw†and “weak hand or bluffâ€. I tried to tell her what happened but I think she thought I was making shit up or something.
Alfie bets out into me first draw KNOWING I raised and stood pat. We play together we know each others game and he lives in the Philly area, I’m S.Jersey so we’re friendly on the game and as happens in poker friends, don’t like beating up on each other so him betting into me there tells me he’s got a good hand. Kind of froze me for a sec then I realized I have a playable draw and the move is probably to RR and drive the rest out. He’s showing me respect by not CRing me and he would someone else.
I told the BTN all this but I think she thinks we were working together but I really did want to drive the rest out. I think I have outs and don’t need someone else in the hand drawing.
So here you go Ms_An exactly how I told you it happened at the table.
