What would you do? Sometimes, as you have seen me do, I call when I should fold. The reason is to mix it up a little in case you are playing people who watch very closely what you are doing.

Kim G calls $2
Player 2 folds
Player 3 folds
Player 4 calls $2
Player 5 calls $2

FLOP: Ad 8c 5s

Player 6 checks
Player 7 checks

What would you do here? One of the things you can do as the big stack is try to thin the playing field by small bets. In $40 NL, small bets can quickly help you figure out where you stand at a minmal cost. Having the lowest pair on the board and a flush draw is not much but I am representing at least that I have an ace.

Kim G bets $2
Player 4 folds
Player 5 raises $5
Player 6 folds
Player 7 folds

Now I know that at least one other person has an ace.

Kim G calls $5

TURN: Ad 8c 5s 9s

Kim G checks
Player 5 bets $21 (all-in)

At this point I don’t even have the chance for a flush draw so I am gone.

Kim G folds

Player 5 wins $22 uncontested
$2 raked.
