Getting Your 3-eek on. 3Coin Has no Fear!

It’s easy to see why 3coin is quickly becoming a new fan favorite. His flamboyant fashion is matched on the table with an exuberance of flair. It might not always be pretty, but it’s entertaining, Often his opponents are left scratching their heads. Playing against an unorthodox style of poker is far from an easy feat, Give me a weak/passive opponent any day! Let’s look at a hand from last night’s Maximum pain stream at Hustler Casino Live, where 3Coin had Sashimi asking all the questions. The game featured blinds of $10/$20/$40 and was live-streamed on Hustler Casino’s YouTube channel.

After several folds, Sashimi ($28,990) opened the action on the button to $300 with A10, this was met by a call from Tyler D ($4,840) in the BB who had been dealt KJ. Last to act was 3coin ($13,040) in the third blind, he had both of his opponents heavily dominated with AK, and his hand strength justified the large 3-bet to $1,200. Three ways they went to the flop with $3,730 in the middle.

The End of the Hand is Nigh?

You’d expect a relatively straightforward hand after a flop of 4104 which made Sashimi top pair, top kicker. However, 3coin having had the preflop initiative was in no mood to give up easily. The C-bet of $1,200 was all pretty straightforward stuff, to be honest. After sashimi called, there was now $6,130 in play.

Here is where the hand heated up, with over $6k in the middle, 3Coin surprisingly announced “all in” for his remaining $10,680 after the 6 was revealed, hands up if you saw that play coming!

This was a polarising spot for Sashimi. Her opponent was either bluffing or had an overpair and was trying to extract max value against a pair of 10’s. However, with such a dry board, why would her opponent play it so aggressively? These are the questions Sashimi must have been asking herself. After a little thought, she made the call making her a huge 93% favorite to scoop the pot. There was no lucky river for 3coin and just like that, he was down $15k.
