bad tooth and poker problem part II

for any of you who were planning on seeing me this week up in northern california at a couple of casinos...i aint gonna be dere. yesterday i had to go to the dentist because one of my teeth had abscessed and it was full of infection. tooth was pulled...not a lot of fun but it was the aftermath which was horrible. the infection was so severe that it "ate" the (the word that i can't spell but is the pain killer that a doctor shoots into your mouth) and thus the nerves were exposed. let me tell you, you don't want that! i screamed in pain. i cried. i moaned. i screamed some more. rhonda, poor thing, was going crazy with worry; she had taken off work and here she is with screaming husband. we get me home and i gobble down some pain pills and finally get to sleep. it was a long day.

now for poker puzzle from previous post: (all except one, decided to call) well, 6 people call and then the button raises but only to 7 dollars or 5 dollars more each. bb calls but lb throws away and now it is back to you.

Probably cut my $2 loss & bail out - with this many people, yeah, you're getting OK odds to chase, but only if it's not popped again.

If I had a goodly degree of confidence that no one would re-pop it, I might call the $5 - otherwise I dump it (or consider re-raising if you really want to play the game).

I took a $2 gamble and it didn't pay off - I'd get off the bus here.

hmmm. It's a such a small raise, it sounds like somebody is trying to steal the pot. I have just enough gamble in me to make a re-raise, maybe 10 more dollars. It's big enough to chase the weak hands out of the way, but cheap enough to still see a flop.

I call. You're definitely not getting no-brainer odds betting $5 into a $26 pot with dueces.

But when you factor in what you WOULD win if you flop a set with this many players to the flop, then it's a worthwhile investment.
