A straddle
This is a hand I played at the Cherokee Casino in Tulsa the other day.
I got there early in the afternoon on a weekday and they didn't have much going on, they had a seat in a 4/8 limit and a list for 1/2 NL. I took the seat and got on the list.
I bought into the 4/8 for $100 and won a little before they started another 1/2 game, so I brought about $140 with me. I don't remember what the max buyin is for the 1/2, they do have a max, I think it's $200. I just played with what I had.
I pissed away some chips on various hands that didn't go anywhere and I was down to $66 and was going to be UTG. I decided to buy more chips when the button got to me and I put out a $4 straddle on a whim.
I was dealt a Kd6d. There were 3 limpers, one early position limper, the button, and the small blind. They didn't seem real excited so I went ahead and gave stealing it a shot -- I raised $16. It almost worked, only the early position limper called.
It was a pretty nice flop for me. 6h 6c 4d. I figured this flop must look like it missed me so I went all in for my remaining $46. I got called by a pocket pair of Kings. No King came.
The lesson here is that slowplay kills.
