you want them to make that call.

at mandalay bay, i dropped about 170 into a really good game and rebought for another hundred. worked my stack back up to within 30-40 dollars of even when this hand occurred: i am in big blind and it has been straddled to 4 dollars and there are 6 callers plus the original straddler and the two blinds, small blind folds and i look down at Ah, Kh. there is 31 dollars in the pot so i raise to 24 dollars and get one caller. flop comes Kd Kc 7c. i go all in and am called. we turn over our hands and he shows ks Th. great!!! fucking river is, you guessed it, a ten. man.

on the other hand, my philosophy on this is: I WANT HIM TO MAKE THAT CALL. I JUST DON'T WANT HIM TO HIT HIS 3 OUTER. but i am never upset over a deal like this, if people didn't make those foolish calls then i would never make any money. you can't get mad over something like this, you just say, "nice hand, sir" and move on. in this case however, i pulled out my gun and shot the motherfucker.

You shot a man in Vegas, just to watch him die? I thought you could only do that in Reno??
