Nice bet by that guy repping AAA.

i re-raise all in... the board is the nuts, and you might get 1 or 2 more fishies to fold it to you.

Feeding the rake. Anyone who's dumb enough to fold already did.

point taken. I play just sng's n MTT's... that works there :P

-Chris

Somebody do the rake calculation and see who looks bad.

-'rilla

When the guy put out the $5 bet it irked me... then 2 people folded.

There was some discussion about it, it seems the 2 that folded had clicked on 'Fold to Any Bet' at the turn because they had garbage in their hands and they were multi-tabling.

The last few bets just fed the rake and screwed all you guys.

Actually no. The two folds made it slightly profitable. Each player that went to showdown put $6 in the pot ($1 pre-flop, $5 on the river) and was paid out $6.20. They actually would have all lost money if no one bet (because of the rake, they all lose slightly) or if everyone called (then the rake would have hurt all involved).

HA! I wasn't even looking at the folds. I can't believe anyone folded that. Were they afraid of the A kicker?

Man, am I the only one actually reading these threads?

haha, whenever the board has quads ace kicker, or Ace high str8 with no flush chances I will raise huge or push. I dont care if it feeds the rake, usually if theres a few people it dosnt make more than a 25-50cent difference but its hilarious when people fold.

rake is .05 per dollar, capping at 3 dollars.

if you really like your change, this was probably just about the best case for making money.

everyone checks the river, everyone loses .05

what happened, everyone who didn't fold gained .20

If you pushed, once the pot goes over 60 dollars everything is the same no matter how far over 60 it goes. so if you raised again, just push.
2 folds = lose .25
3 folds = break even
4 folds = gain .50
5 folds = gain 2 dollars

So more or less, if this happened i'd just push because its worth .50 to me to make fun of someone who folds.
