Not often you run across something on 2+2 that makes you laugh so hard you snort but this one from Mason did the trick. Mason relates a story of a hand he played at the new Wynn casino where Mason is in the BB and the SB just completes. Check/Check on the flop, Check/Check on the turn, and the SB tosses his hand in the muck on the river before Mason can even act. Mason’s hand? 23o. La Brujita responded to Mason that he should have value bet his hand. sfer pipes in that what Mason calls 3 high, he calls the nut low. :-)

You ever have one of those hands where you wish someone would bet so you didn’t have to show down the crappy hand you played? For whatever reason you click Call. Then everybody checks the flop, the turn gets checked around and you start praying someone will bet so you can fold your heaping pile of nothing.
