Small Pots Count, Too

Not every pot has to be a big one. The little pots are often the ones people overlook, but they do a great job of helping to build a stack.

In one hand, Cliff "JohnnyBax" Josephy called a raise on the button from a player in middle position. Andrew Barta called out of the small blind as well. After the flop came down {10-Spades} {6-Hearts} {4-Diamonds}, action checked to Josephy and he fired out 2,800 to take down the pot.

In another hand a couple of tables over, Alex Bolotin bet a flop of {10-Spades} {9-Hearts} {8-Spades} after David Inselberg and Ted Ely checked to him. Both players called and the turn came the {4-Diamonds}. Once again, both players checked to Bolotin and this time he fired 8,000. Both players folded, giving Bolotin the pot.
