Hey Look AT ME!!!

2-5 nl Hold'em. I am about to leave with my 600$ but the dealer agrees to give us one more hand. I put out a straddle utg. Three limps and a LAG raises to 30$. The bb calls, I call on the straddle with 66. The limpers call.

Six to the flop, 180$.

Flop: 5 6 7 rainbow. As soon as I saw the flop I started thinking; When I stack off to 89, do I pay time and keep playing?

Then something happend. The big blind said "all in". I asked for a count and it was 370$.

Huh?

As we remembered in our last episode, bets that don't make sense are likely to be bluffs. Caveat: nothing makes sense to me.

The only clue was that he was a new big blind from the guy who had left an hour before. I hadn't seen him play a single hand yet. I thought 'my gosh, I hadn't even realized that he was here.'

I didn't think he would make this play with an overpair. That leaves other sets, 2 pairs, and straights. The sets are a wash since I have the middle one.

I eventually held up the 666 for the 3 spectators behind me who weren't in the game. If I am going to fold a set I want some credit dang it. Shouldn't have advertised that I am easy to move off to those LAGtards. I folded. The others folded. The PFR folded A7o face up. The big blind showed us 34s for the bottom str8.

What got me off was the enormous overbet. If he goes for a c/r or even a normal sized bet, the rest of my money goes in. I really don't know a way of not being trapped if he bets semi-normally because I will be way commited by the time I figure out what is going on.
