Plopped In When an opponent practically hands a tournament win to you on a silver platter. Ex: It's better to be lucky than good, but it's even better to be plopped in.
Here's Some Proof Here's a situation that actually happened at the Meskwaki tournament this weekend. Last hand, two advance. Bets 25 to 2,000. BJ pays 2:1. No surrender. The BJT'er was supposed to be first to act, but had noticed that the player to her left kept pushing his small bets into the circle out of turn, so she waited for him to do it again. He obliged. =>BJT'er, bankroll 1,075, bet ? BR3, bankroll 650, bet 75 (out of turn) BR2, bankroll 1,025
I wasn't involved in this mess, but am thinking that BR3 might be King of the Ploppies. After this hand was finished (and the round was over), he asked the dealer how many hands were left. :yikes: :laugh:
With all do respect. Ok guys I'll bite and play the fool. But, yous bot bein very knowledgeable and good, what's wrong with a $200 bet in either of the other positions to avoid the 2-1 BJ and still hold the low? And avoid the train wreck ploppin?
The Guy Bet Out Of Turn I should have specified the rule about betting out of turn. At Meskwaki once your bet is in the circle it has to stay there. The dealer doesn't push it back to you like at some casinos. So once BR3 pushed 75 out into the circle out of turn, that was his bet. All BJT'er and BR2 needed to do was bet the minimum of 25 to lock him out. This is exactly what they both did. If BR3 had waited his turn, BJT'er should bet 250.
