Message: [QUOTE="fundiver199, post: 6154673, member: 397965"] First of all I think, its really cool, that ACR have made these bomb pot tables. Interest in online poker has been declining for around 15 years, so anything, which can make the games more fun and interesting without turning them into pure casino games should be applauded. So thumbs up to ACR for this invention. With that out of the way on to the hand. Preflop Since its a bomb pot there is no preflop - one person commenting seems to have missed that fact. Flop As has been said already one pair is not exactly the nuts in a bomb pot, since 9 players can have anything including all the possible two pair combinations. This is true regardless of board texture. 6 players have checked already, which is a small sign of weakness, but one of them could still be planning on a check-raise. So I like betting here, but its probably almost a bet-fold I guess? And for that reason I would go a little bit smaller. Good players will fold hands like second or third pair for a much smaller bet than this, when its a bomb pot, so you still get the same equity denial by betting small. Turn In a bomb pot his should be a good card for you, since you now beat A6, and there are less combos available of A7, 77 and 76. And he should not have called you on the flop with a naked 7X, even though he actually did. So if you had bet smaller on the flop, I would bet again hoping, the guy has a worse AX and will pay off. However its still a bet-fold, because if he raise you on the turn, one pair is never good (even though its technically now two pair). Results So the guy was a huge fish, and he got lucky and hit his 5 outer on the turn. This will happen from time to time, and I would not beat myself up over it to much. In more normal pots though top pair is often going to be a check on the turn, when the board pair especially with middle card, because the fact, you have top pair, makes it somewhat more likely, he could have something else like second pair, which now beat you. So in normal pots this would be a bad turn card for you and a sign to slow down. [/QUOTE]
