Not the First Bustout -- But It Could Have Been
![[user10554]](/img/avatars/avatar.svg){kind=avatar}
Three players get to the river on a board showing
, and there is 2,000 in the pot. What would be the proper bet at this point?Well, the player in seat 6 decides that this is a perfect moment to move in. Does he have the nuts? (No, as we'll find out later.) What about the second nuts (3-3) or a very strong hand that he hit on the river (Q-Q)?
Anyway, one of the other players in the hand holds up his cards, and behind the rail we can see he has J-9 for a full house, jacks full of threes. He folds, figuring it isn't worth the risk. The third player folds, and the overbetter takes the pot.
We'll probably never know what the first guy had, but whether it was a bluff or a calculated value bet, it seems a little excessive for ten minutes into the World Series of Poker Main Event.
