Makoto Maximizes Bullets, Thanks to Opponent’s Booboo


WARNING: This is one way to lose PHP 50,000 without a sweat; pick up the wrong color of chips during your raise, which put you virtually all-in and very much committed to shoving afterwards.

A mid-position player opened to 150 and got re-raised by Dhaval Mutgal to 500. Makoto Ogino wanted more and three-bet double to 1,000. The mid-position player wanted even more with a FOUR-BET to 10,000*! Mudgal quickly threw away his hand and Ogino snap-called (for a very good reason).

Ogino: A A
MP Player: A K

Flop: 8 10 J
Turn: 6
River: 3

*After the hand, we learned that the MP player “unintentionally” put those two yellows (5,000 each) and intended to four-bet to just 2,000. We’ll never know if that is exactly what his intention was.
