Tommy is definitely the toughest player to trap that I have ever encountered!
He will fold many hands in a row...convincing you he is a tight player, then he will make a successful steal 2 or 3 off the button with a weak to marginal hand.
Then he will try to steal again on the flop and when he gets check-raised he quickly escapes!
He will isolate one player (that has a better hand) with an ace and play it to the wire and hit on the turn or river, sometimes both!
Tommy will 3 bet out of his blinds against a late stealer with a better hand or will push them off the best hand.
He is a WORTHY opponent and I love to do battle with him.
I must admit he comes out ahead most of the times we play.
I salute him as a very tough player.
However, I have figured out a way to trap him!
You get a game with him and play for awhile and take a break and then come up behind him while he is peeking at his pocket aces and throw a big net over him :-)
That's the only way you will ever trap Tommy :-)
