Worker Goes to Work

After a series of raises, the small blind and big blind were all in against Greg Worker under the gun.

Greg Worker: K♠3♠Q♣4♣
Small Blind: A♥A♦8♦Q♣
Big Blind: A♦8♦8♥J♥

"Oh no!" said Worker, seeing how the two players had many of his outs covered. The dealer spread a flop of K♦2♦Q♦ and it looked even more dire as the big blind had flopped a flush.

But his fortunes turned again with the K♣ on the turn, giving him a full house. He dodged the case ace on the river that would have made the small blind a better full house, and sent both blinds to the rail.

"You hit every card in your hand except the three," marveled another player at the table.

"That's my strategy," said Worker, "Get it in bad and pray."
