Just when you thought "Hee Haw" was only a TV show ...
I was in late position in a turbo SNG last night and found myself with A-3s. After the table folded to me, I bet 3.5x the big blind, ready to take the blinds. The big blind called me. After pairing my 3 at the flop and with nothing too scary on the board, I made a pot-sized continuation bet which, at this point in the game, represented about 1/3 of the stack. The BB called again. At the turn, I bet and the BB went all in. Due to the passive play so far, the lack of any draw on the board and calling big bets, I put him on a bluff - an overcard or two, no pair, trying to take the pot, so I called and he showed 7-4 off-suit. He had paired his 7 at the turn, but had already called 1/3 of his stack with no pair and no draw.
Annoyingly, I couldn't catch up. I'm not calling it a bad beat, just grousing about the crap people will play passively. Hell, if you're going to play rags, BET the damned things.
