Greekfish Not So Fishy

Andy Greekfish is having a marvellous time. He called me over to tell me why.

It appears that he raised under the gun with {A-?} {Q-?} and the gentleman on the button ("Let's call him Hammer," said Greekfish, as Hammer smiled apologetically) and Mike Ellis in the small blind both called.

The flop came down {J-?} {8-?} {5-?} rainbow and it checked around, so they proceeded to the {J-Hearts} turn, which put two hearts on the board. Ellis checked again and now Greekfish bet 250, but Mr. Hammer made it 750. "You have two hearts," said Greekfish, and called. The river came a blank and both players checked, and indeed Mr. Hammer showed two hearts that had failed to beat the Greekfish's {A-?} {Q-?}.

Then a few hands later Greekfish raised to 300 preflop and picked up one caller before our friend Mr. Hammer squeezed for 1,200. Greekfish called and the caller got out of their way. They saw a {J-?} {7-?} {4-?} flop and Mr. Hammer checked. Greekfish bet 1,200 -- and Mr. Hammer instantly raised to cover Greekfish. Greekfish called -- and his pocket sixes held up against Hammer's {A-?} {K-?}.

Greekfish is up to 9,000.
