One Way to Play Pocket Jacks
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Gilbert Tin Fook, Saurabh Gulati and Dhinesh Soopramanien limped in. Didier Mery then pushed all-in for around 160,000 and that left the first limper somewhat stunned. Tin Fook folded, as did Gulati, and Soopramanien folded the 7?7? and Mery showed his J?J?.
The dealer was confused at first whether or not there would be a showdown before all the cards were mucked and Mery won the hand uncontested.
"You know I have the habit to limp aces?" Tin Fook asked Mery in French.
