If I may be allowed a short sidebar… I’m getting real tired of this pejorative being thrown around arbitrarily. I often get labeled this when I sit down at a table and break up the Texas Hold’em Junior limp party that typically goes on at ring games.
The latest example for me was this hand where I re-raised a min-raise pre-flop with pocket Kings in the small blind. In most cases, it’s pointless to explain to them the strategy behind pre-flop betting. They just “want to see a flop, damn it”.
Anyway, to the topic at hand. Unfortunately, I have encountered some of the names at that table. Betting that hard into potential lemmings is a risky endeavor, but it seemed to work in your favor. The board did seem to favor top two pair as being the best hand. It seemed like the pot was headed to the moon anyway, so I think an all-in on the turn was an alright move on your part. You would have more than likely been pot committed on the river, regardless. Nice win, sir.
