Another extra-fast exit at Thunder Valley's daily
On my big blind (first round, 25/50), a total of 5 people limp. I have and finally decide to simply check my options and see what the flop brings. It comes with and I bet 250 after the SB checks. I get 2 callers. Turn is and I bet 600. First guy calls, second shoves all-in for over 3,000 (has us both covered). I stared at him for a while, and his seemed overly confident. I give him credit and fold, as does the other guy. He shows for a straight, saying "I did not want you to draw a flush on me"... Down to 2,100 chips.A few minutes later, second round (50/100), on my small blind. UTG limps, but the gal on the hijack position raises to 600. It is folded to me and I look at . There was only one limper, for once, and she raises to 600? She has shown she had some skills, I take that as a protection bet, probably on a small to medium pair. With 2,100 left, I shove confidently. UTG raises all in (has a bit more than me) and the gal calls. UTG has while the gal raised and calls all-in with . Flop is uneventful but the turn is the that sends me to the rail. Back to work!
