Don't call
an all in bet that puts you all in with second pair
In this
hand a player puts in a standard raise with KJ and the second player
flat calls with A7. The flop hits both players, one J and a 7
on board, but there's also a flush draw. The player with the
KJ in my opinion makes a clever bet of about $60 (bb is currently
$20), which makes the player with A7 think this person is on a flush
draw (many players when on a flush draw will make small bets at the
pot to throw you off just to see the next card for cheap). The
player with A7 does a re-raise of about 3x the initial raise, and is
called. No flush card comes and the first player with KJ puts
in another small raise of $60, and the A7 again raises, this time
more. Of course KJ calls. When no flush card comes on
the river, KJ goes all in which was $30 less then the person holding
A7, who still only has second highest card. This person called
only to find out their 7's were beat by the J's. I believe
that the caller was sure the first person was on a flush draw and
missed it, especially after the over bet of all in. This
actually was a good play (if you're in this position) in my opinion
on the person with KJ (although risky) because they could have been
up against 2 pair. But with the last bet, it appeared that
they missed their flush and was trying to buy the pot.
