Im on the bb and catch 6/4os (notice I said 'catch' because 6/4os is a fk'n monster in my book :P )

so the action goes...limp, limp , limp, limp, fold, limp , limp mini raise

so when it gets to me I have to call another 10 bucks to see the flop ...normally I would muck 6/4os of course into any raise...but with 7 in the pot it made the call a no brainer.

So everybody else calls the mini raise and before the cards are dealt there is a $140.00 bones in the pot

FLOP 6/6/4...ohhh yea come to papa. I knew I was gonna get paid off

I check....a couple other checks and then some guy leads out with a pot sized bet !!....so I'm lickin my chops when lo' and behold before it gets to me there is a RAISER !! I smooth call the raise saving my remaining 300 for the turn certain that there will be more action.

Sure enough raiser # 1 goes all in...raiser # 2 calls and I call off the rest of my stack

A/4 , KK and me :P

without proper pot odds I never would have played the hand in the 1st place and it ended up being a $1300.00 pot...with 6/4os limping in from the small blind

thats no limit baby
LOL this really doesnt have much to do with this thread does it?

But anyway vnh, you must have gized your pants when you saw that flop with such a huge multiway pot.
