here's a hand where i had AA and did everything i possibly could to clearly define my hand for my opponents in hopes of winning what had already become a big pot (for this game).
im in the sb with AA, the bb is a drunk cowboy trucker type who overvalues pocket pairs and is getting more and more disgusted by the (deserved, not bad) beats he is taking. the button is a pretty good pretty solid player who recognizes im sure that his blind opponents are pretty fishlike.
one thing important to this hand is to uderstand that i have been caught (semi and stone-cold) bluffing repeatedly all the way to the river at this table and both bb and button are aware of this.
the preflop is this, button open raises, i 3 bet, bb calls, button 4 bets, i cap it at 5 bets, bb calls, button calls.
the flop is something like 832. ive already bet the flop in the dark, bb calls, button raises, i 3 bet immediately. bb thinks and thinks and decides to fold. button calls, i bet the turn in the dark.
it's a little card, he calls. i bet the river in the dark.
the river is a little card. bb says "aw f*ck!" and starts ranting about how he knew he shouldnt have folded his 55 or 77 or whatever it was he had taht made a straight or set after putting all those bets in there. the button calls and i win. button acts a little tilted and gets up from the table for a bit. bb is on full blown tilt. i think betting in the dark helped them into this condition, but maybe i am stupid.
