Hey guys,
Before I show you hand let me give you a little background. Ok, so Villain is a player I haven't seen before, but judging his play before this hand he seemed to be 'ok'. i mean he's capable of folding (unlike many). Also, he had pushed me out of 2 mediocrish hands from earlier in the session.
PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.50 BB (7 handed)
UTG ($16.70)
MP1 ($51.65)
MP2 ($43.50)
CO ($98.85)
Hero ($44.70)
SB (Villain) ($45.15)
BB ($44.75)
Preflop: Hero is Button with 7d, 2c.
UTG folds, MP1 folds, MP2 calls $0.50, CO folds, Hero calls $0.50, SB (Villain) raises to $1.5, BB folds, MP2 folds, Hero calls $1.
IMHO, my limp on button is a very powerful move. Flop 72x nobody suspects the 72, nobody. Huge implied odds here. Unfortunately SB bet, and everyone folded to me. Now if I call and don't hit my 2 pair, then I was going to pick a spot to take the pot down.
Flop: ($4) 6s, Jh, 8s (2 players)
Villain bets $1.5, Hero calls $1.50.
No, can't take it down on flop... Calling looks more powerful with my backdoor straight draw.
Turn: ($7) Qc (2 players)
Villain bets $1.5, Hero raises to $5.5, Villain folds.
Same wimpy bet? I turn on the heat here and he folds like a cheap suit. Course I show my hand and more than a few of the players were shocked

.
Final Pot: $14
Main Pot: $10, won by Hero.
Pot 2: $4, returned to Hero.
I also tried this move for MP1 to see. He's a player I've played thousands of hands with, and on at least 4 occasions when I won a nice pot he'd tell me how he knew exactly what I had, and yadda yadda yadda... Course this guy is the most predictable SOB in the world, but I don't say that

. In the dozens and dozens of times we've been at the same table, I have only won 12 off him, and lost 10 lol! I wanna get a big score off this doofus.
Cheers,
Mike
