Lam Plays Her First Ever No-Limit Hold‘em Bomb Pot and Takes It Down
No-Limit Hold‘em bomb pots are still somewhat of an exotic thing in poker, so many players are needing some time to get accustomed to this special game. One of the tables just played their first hand of the game today and for at least one of the players at the table, Newt Lam, it was the first time she had ever played such a hand.
Players saw the following two flops:
3♦4♣8♣
5♣2♣4♦
Player in the hijack bet 500. Lam called, as did the player in early position. After the dealer clarified to Lam that betting in Hold’em bomb pots in this tournament is never pot limit, but no-limit on every street, players headed to turn.
The turn cards came:
3♦4♣8♣J♣
5♣2♣4♦3♥
Hijack now checked, and Lam bet 1,500. Early position called and hijack now folded.
The rivers came:
3♦4♣8♣J♣A♠
5♣2♣4♦3♥6♣
Lam got a check from her opponent and then fired 4,000. After some thinking, he folded.
Despite it being her first experience with No-Limit Hold‘em bomb pots, Lam seemed to be getting on just fine, leaving her opponents wondering about her cards and even having one of them ask if she plans to be bluffing them a lot in the future.
