Video Transcript

Well, you know what. When I look down and I see eight seven suited, I'm gonna call every time because I'm getting one, two, three, four five, on my chips. So, I'm calling. I'm getting five to one on my chips. And here we go to the flop. Remember what everybody had. Burn one. Turn the flop. Well, hey, look what the big blind now has. He's got a straight draw, he's got a flush draw, he's got a straight flush draw. That's pretty strong. And shame on these guys for letting him even be in this pot. But there he is. And now maybe this guy decides, hey wait, I'm type A, I had ace king, what am I doing trying to trap. If he puts in all his chips now, it's too late. There's no reason for this guy to leave. You know what, don't play too tight, don't be timid, don't be someone who thinks he's playing tortoise and the hare. You want to find the right spots to sort of strike out at your opponents. In this scenario your opponents have given you a great opportunity. Let's go ahead and play it out. See if we make our hand. Yep, there it is. There's a straight for ya.
