*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to IFCopper [Jh Jc]

Nice. This table has been nothing but pansies, every raise = folds around to the raiser. Not to mention the antes and blinds just went up.

A solid raise should take this down. Not to mention that the blinds just went up.

IFCopper: raises 4000 to 6000
KiD[ReD]: calls 6000
mary_all_in: folds
murraygoals: folds
kensmoe8: folds
ICECRM: folds
Topflex: folds

Interesting. I've got kid red pegged as a bit of a loose wire.


*** FLOP *** [Js 4d Qc]
IFCopper: checks

Woof. A monster hand. let's check to the loose wire - who only has 4980 in chips left.


KiD[ReD]: bets 2000

Pause a little bit to reel him in. Act like I'm thinking about it, then call.

IFCopper: calls 2000


*** TURN *** [Js 4d Qc] [4h]

Bam. Full house. He's only got 2880 left, so he's pot committed, might as well put him all in.


IFCopper: bets 4000
KiD[ReD]: calls 2880 and is all-in


He takes the bait.

KiD[ReD]: shows [Ks Qs]

So, he's got two pair, Q's over 4's, and I've got a full house. Only 2 cards in the deck beat me. Queen of diamonds and the Queen of Hearts.

That's a 4.26% chance of beating me. Or, taken another way, I've made the correct play and forced a player all in on a hand that I win 96% of the time.


*** RIVER *** [Js 4d Qc 4h] [Qd]

Yeah. That's poker.


*** SHOW DOWN ***
IFCopper: shows [Jh Jc] (a full house, Jacks full of Queens)
KiD[ReD]: shows [Ks Qs] (a full house, Queens full of Fours)
KiD[ReD] collected 25460 from pot

Look at that. I've just created a new chip leader. Dammit.
