Two dollars.
Five dollars.
Manageable stakes. A relaxing evening.
Then someone straddles.
Someone raises to $30 over the straddle.
Three people call.
Someone three-bets to $95.
Two calls.
The flop comes with two flush draws and a pair on board.
The first check is a trap.
The second check is also a trap.
Someone bets $200.
Someone raises to $500.
Now there is a used car in the middle of the table and everyone is very focused.
