Jonathan flops trips in a four-way pot—great news, right? But then, out of nowhere, the out-of-position player rips in their entire 100 big blind stack.

It’s the $1500 WSOP Monster Stack, and I’ve flopped top pair top kicker in a five-way hand—but across the table is a talkative, vape-clouding maniac who’s not slowing down. Chips are flying, pressure is mounting, and I’m stuck in the tank. Is this aggro line value… or vape-fueled madness?

Jonathan has top pair, top kicker on a fairly clean board in this #CommonProblems episode. His opponent has called every street, then drops a big bet on the river. It’s one of those spots: are we too high in our distribution to fold—or are we walking right into a trap?
