Sometimes you can be a poker "alter ego" in an online cash game, especially when no one knows who you are. Look what we did the other night at PokerStars.net....
BLINDS: 5/10
IN THE POCKET: K-K
About five players are at this pretend table. We make a modest raise in early position to 25. Come on in -- and most players do.
ON THE FLOP: Q-7-8
We have an overpair and early position, so we fire a continuation bet of 50. A couple of players call.
ON THE TURN: K
That's even better -- three of a kind. Now we raise the temperature to 75. Only one player calls.
ON THE RIVER: K
Whoa!! We hit runners for quads! So we pause a moment to plan our strategy -- then we check.
Our opponent ponders -- and takes the bait. He goes all-in, for about 380. Of course, we call.
:-) is what we type as we show the case Kings. Our opponent dared to bet with a mere 3-8 for two pair. Did that momentary wait on our part make a difference? We'll reflect on that in our next post.
