We played 4th street, we done the good card. What comes next? The bad card. How do we play it? First thing we do is 5th street comes out, not a lot of improvement there the pair of 5s showing here is still showing the best hand. Now we turn over the bad card look at that somebody at the table has one and actually has to throw it away so they have one less card to make a 5 card hand with. This person has a jack in the hole they have to be honest and throw that away, don't try not to be honest because when you come down to the showdown people are going to know that you lied and didn't throw something away. There is no jack here, there's no jack here so 2 of the players at the table had jacks and they are down one card now. So what do I do if I'm betting if the action is on me and it's my option to bet I'm going to bet away. The reason why we're going to bet away is these guys have one less reason to want to stay in the hand cause they have one less card.
