Poker Blog - you make the call.
Played $5-$10 last at shady card room in San Diego.
Near the button I have K-10 offsuit, my stack is $1250. Most others have larger stacks. Five players limp in for $10, including myself.
Flop comes Q-10-10.
Great flop for me. Check, check, third guy bets $30, fold, I raise to $80.
Older wealthy white guy in first position, who checked, now calls the $80.
Tough to read that call. Everyone else folds.
Turn card is an 6, two hearts now on the Q-10-10-6 board.
Guy checks. I need to bet here. But how much? After a while, I decide on $180. Guy calls. What does he have?
River card is a 3 of hearts.
Guy goes all in for $1000. I have $880 left.
>>DO YOU CALL OR FOLD?
This one took a lot of thinking, so work it out, then let me know what you put him on. Then scroll down to my decision.....
Three hearts on the board but no way did I put him on a flush. Why? A flush would be afraid of a full house. I bet every time I could; I could easily have a full house. A flush would just check, or bet $300, not $1000.Does he have a full house? If he flopped it, he would have surely raised me on the turn, trying to build the pot. He cant have Q-10 because he never raised. 10-7? Again, when I bet $180, he would have raised. So now 10-7 full house.Is he bluffing? 9-J might bluff here, after he missed his straight. He saw me fold earlier, so maybe he thinks he can push me around? Pocket aces or kings? No way, he would have raised preflop from 1st position. I went over all these and still didnt know what to do. Nothing made fricken sense, so I called. He showed 10-3 for a full house on the river. I was so pissed. I got up and left. I hate poker.

JaMarcus Russell worst ever NFL QB?
JaMarcus Russell is the worst quarterback to play in the NFL in the past 20 years.
Seriously, it is remarkable how bad this guy is. Al Davis will not let Tom Cable bench Russell. Why? Al Davis is embarrassed, and desperately wants Russell to improve so Davis doesn't look like the jackass he obviously is. The game has passed Al Davis by. All other 31 NFL owners would fire their head coach if they continued to play a quarterback as bad as Russell. Al Davis is the opposite. He fired Lane Kiffin because Kiffin wanted to bench Russell.
Jamarcus Russell is so bad he cannot even hit a wide open WR sitting in the zone 12 yards down the field. And forget about mobility. Russell is afraid to run with the football.
The Raiders have a decent team without Russell. Throw Jeff Garcia in as the starter, or even 3rd stringer Charlie Frye, and the Raiders could be a playoff team.
Personally, I hope Al Davis forces his puppet head coach to play Jamarcus all year long. I've made big dollars betting against the Raiders. I'd love to be able to continue to do so.
