Boatwright & Enza Chop it upBluffing is part of poker, so are half truths, exaggerated folds and blatant lies, which is why it's refreshing to see true honesty at the table.
On a board of 7♥ 8♠ J♦ the action is checked to Mark Buonadonna (Vineland, NJ) on the button who bets and gets three callers.
The 10♥ on the turn gives anyone with a 9 a straight, and in the BB Peter Enza (Philadelphia, PA) starts the action with a 1,200 chip bet. One player folds and it's back on Buonadonna who mulls it over as Enza continues to chirp throughout the hand.
Buonadonna bluntly asks Enza, "is there anything else I should know before I fold?" Enza quickly responds, "yeah, if you can't beat a straight get out of the hand. Your two pairs or set is no good."
Buonadonna folds, but Darryl Boatwright (Sicklerville, NJ) from the SB calls.
The river is the 3♥, Enza bets 1500 and Boatwright calls. Both players showdown a 9 and they chop the pot with a jack high straight.
Enza honest to the end as he stacks half of Buonadonna's chips.
