oldbloke's mutterings

Under the sofa, which I moved during vacuuming, as well as a few of Jack's toys, were 26 corks.

As usual I've added my thoughts. Be interested to hear yours.

! 01/26/09 08:02:24! CeeZeeMan folds
! 01/26/09 08:02:24! Dagon calls

! 01/26/09 08:02:24! Pot right ($10400), flopping/dealing/drawing cards
! 01/26/09 08:02:24! 3 players
! 01/26/09 08:02:24! Flopped cards: 7s Ad 8s
--- Oh look, a draw to the straight flush.
! 01/26/09 08:12:40! Dagon bets $5000
--- About 3 to 1, but I didn't even think about the odds, coz it's a draw to a straight flush.
--- Looking back now, I see I had 2 chances to hit 12 outs (straight or flush) from 47 unseen, or 35:12, which is, happily, about 3:1. Actually somm other outs may have been good - making two pair or trips would probably do the job. So it's a good call. Should I have raised?

! 01/26/09 08:56:31! goofball folds

! 01/26/09 08:56:31! 2 players
! 01/26/09 08:56:31! Flopped card: 4h
--- No help.
! 01/26/09 09:26:38! Dagon bets $10200
--- He bets half the pot. I didn't wonder what he had, though I should have. An ace, or even two for trips, probably. Now I still need about 3:1 and I'm still getting it. So it's a good call. But if he'd bet more I'd prolly still have called, coz it's a Straight Flush!!!

! 01/26/09 09:30:49! 2 players
! 01/26/09 09:30:49! Flopped card: 6s
--- I made the flush. Now I do think, and what I think is, it's good enough (and if I'm wrong I'm prepared to die here)
! 01/26/09 09:39:52! Dagon bets $10000
! 01/26/09 09:39:52! oldbloke raises $11900 and is all in _____________________________________________________________________________
