Dozier Runs Into the Hammer

Deanna Dozier, sitting on the button, was one of four players to limp into the pot. The other three checked to Dozier on a flop of {4-Clubs} {6-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds}. She bet 4,000 and was called only by the small blind.

The turn fell {4-Spades}. The small blind checked again, then called another 5,500-chip bet. Both players checked the {6-Clubs} river. At showdown, the small blind showed sevens and sixes, made with the worst starting hand in hold'em -- the Hammer, {7-Hearts} {2-Spades}.

"Aaaaaaah!" shouted a frustred Dozier. "So annoying! I'm going to pummel you in a minute. I'm going to rip those glasses of and fling 'em across the table."

Grinning, the small blind expressed his interest in engaging in such rough-and-tumble activities with the attractive Dozier. Then he added, "What am I supposed to do, fold the best hand?"

"You're spastic," replied Dozier. "You shouldn't even have been in there!"

"You limped," the small blind shot back. "It was only 600 more. Seven-deuce is a great hand!"

"You and I are going to tango today," said Dozier.

"I can't wait," her opponent replied. "I'm very excited even if I lose."
