No-Limit Hold'em

There was already 6,800 in the pot when we approached the table. A flop of {5-Spades}{8-Spades}{5-Diamonds} was laid out before Calvin Anderson and one other player. Anderson had checked over to his opponent and a bet of 10,000 was out in front of him. Anderson had moved all-in with a covering stack and his opponent was in the tank.

As he thought Anderson started talking.

"You got a flush draw?" he asked. "How big is your flush draw?"

Anderson smiled as he started talking.

"Nines?" he asked. "Tens? Ace eight? Six seven of spades?"

Anderson then shook his head. "Nah, you don't have any of those hands."

Anderson studied his opponent as he flicked chips back and forth in his hands, then smiled again. "You probably shouldn't have gotten involved in this game," Anderson said. "You came here for the mix right? You're probably better at the other games.

"Not many people come for hold'em," he continued. "I'm one of those guys though."

While Anderson was talking another player at the table called the clock. The floor came and started coutning down the clock and the player folded before his time expired.

Anderson showed the {Q-Clubs}.

"What happened preflop," Anthony Zinno asked from across the table. "I missed that whole thing."

"I raised and he three bet," Anderson said.

With that, Anderson took down the pot and showed his prowess for the game of No-Limit Hold'em.
