Let’s Gamble
Level 3
: 150/300, 0 ante
A player limped in for 300 and there was a raise to 1,125 and a call before it got back to him.
“Ahh shoot, let’s gamble it up," he said (or words to that effect), and moved all in for another 5,000. The original raiser folded and the remaining one thought for a short while before telling him, “If you don’t have a pair I’m ahead” and calling with . The all-in player turned over .
The board ran out and the baby pair held to send the gambler to the rail.
The player who called later reasoned that if he’d had a pair he would have raised preflop so was happy to take a flip.
