There could never be a poker text in this planet that would gamble to play Q-7, even if accommodated. In the world of poker everything varies on the opponent, on your pile or even your position and the probability that you take before anything else. Oftentimes, as the former world champ Greg Raymer present in 2009 at the $10,000 worth World Series of Poker as main event in Rio Hotel in Las Vegas, a contented price for playing a chanceful holding into an unexpected hand.

“Seinfeld” George Constanza; played by actor Jason Alexander, betting at $ 250- $500 added up by $50 ante, a soon raised to $1,600 from the under the gun. As in the game the player located in the middle called up, it turn out to be a move fix for Raymer, holding the Q-7 of clubs in the big hide. With great pile, Raymer raised another $1,100 into the pot of $4, 400, offering him a resistless 4-1 on his tab. Source from PokerStars online site Raymer stated that: “I was getting a good price to play,” “It’s not a spot where I’m going to flop a queen or a 7 and go broke with it. I thought if I caught something miraculous, then I could win a nice pot.” he added.

Washout of A-5-2, all clubs isn’t a miracle; giving the chance to Raymer for a second-nut flush and third best hand behind straight flush. Again he raised $2,500.

“That was an amount where I thought I would get some action and might even give someone incentive to raise,” Raymer said. “Jason raised to $6,000, a little more than a min-raise. I’d been chatting with Jason. I thought I knew where his head was at. I didn’t think it was possible for me to make the nuts, because I thought for sure he had the king of clubs for at least the nut draw, he added.
