No idea how much I could bet there — the K could have been a good card for him to raise on if he had it — so I was hoping… But good pot none the less.

When you call a flop bet with a gutshot straight draw, you better make sure to get maximum value from it IF you hit. We call it implied odds, and I made them work.

TT vs. TT, make a straight

The money went in pre-flop, obv. Guy had close to no chips.

LOL Why did he play this that way?
