So I just witnessed a hand in live poker where one guy had 1400 BB and the other had 850 BB stack, the max buy in was 250 BB however both the players had actually bought for just 100 BB. One flopped nut straight with JT and the other flopped top set with AA on a rainbow board. I lost count of the number of re raises and eventually they went all in on the flop. It was bad play by the player with top set as the guy with the nuts kept min raising it was just obvious to me what he had. Anyways the turn paired the board and the hand was dead. Boom the chip leader lost 850 BB in a single hand having flopped the nuts.
We never have people get that deep in our games it was just an unusually crazy night that led to such a scenario.
I was wondering what I would have done if I were the guy with the straight? The variance here is just gigantic you are not going to get involved in a hand that big anytime soon.
I know most would just reject this notion but could we possibly make an argument for pot control with the nuts in a situation like this? I personally have never been in a hand that big which goes to show just how high the variance is in this scenario.
