Hey everyone,

Here's probably one of my most enjoyable moments playing poker so far. I am sure I'll have even more where I slowplay with a monster and eat all the other guys chips, but right now I don't like playing passive, ever, and just go for the throat .

Anywho, before I show you what happened, a little history. When I arrived at the table, this guy was pushing everyone around with his larger stack. He'd do big raises and scare everyone off...

Here's what happened.

I was very happy with my raise. Of course I kinda knew I was behind when I did it, but I had had a very positive afternoon (after some help from 2 PF posters, thanks you 2!), and was interested in doing battle. It looks like his fold indicates that he had pocket Ks, but like I said, he pushed a lot of people around making it difficult to read whether he had good hands, or was just bluffing.

Why'd I only do a 10 cent raise with the AKs? Well, earlier on I picked up AA. And I bet 20 cents in early position hoping a few people would call. Unfortunately nobody did. I wanted a little action, so I reduced the amount. It's quite possible that this bully saw this as a sign of weakness, and raised the 40 cents.

Cheers,

Mike

lol he folded a $3 pot to a .35 raise, that's hilarious

lol! Yes, it is . Makes you wonder what he had... Almost anything worth staying in the pot?

Cheers,

Mike

I love when people do that kind of stuff.

So many times people just fold on the river when they go first, when I was going to check it because I was unsure of what they were holding.

Some people are so stupid, good thing you can profit from it
