Beware the Unabomber

Phil Laak
Phil Laak

With three limpers in front of him, Phil "Unabomber" Laak raised to 875 from the cutoff. The button and both blinds got out of the way, while two of the three limpers came along for the ride.

The under-the-gun player checked the {A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} flop to the limper in middle position. He tossed out three blue chips worth T500 apiece. Laak thought for a moment before putting in a raise to 3,000. The UTG player snap-folded as the middle-position player simply shook his head and tossed his cards to the muck.

Laak is up to 25,000.
