Re: How can I seem relaxed after monster flops?
I was in the casino playing $1/$2 NL, UTG +1 with AQ. I raise to $8 preflop, and get 4 callers. The flop comes down AAQ, 2 spades. I immediately notice the waitress is very close to me, so I flag her down. I go into detail with her about EXACTLY how I want her to bring my drink.
By this time the table has been waiting and the dealer interrupts me and the waitress, "Sir, it's your action!". I glance casually at the board (I had seen them as they flopped, but noone noticed), and distractedly say "check" and immediately return to my server.
By the time the action returns to me, it has been bet $15, called, and raised to $40. I have about $200 in front of me and push all-in. I get 2 callers, one with A 10, one with K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. Each player had about $100 in front of them.
That particular hand I think I successfully disguised my interest in the hand just because I was lucky enough to notice a server in close proximity and realize this may be excellent camoflage.
Normally I just try to sit exactly like I do every other hand, but this was SUCH a monster I felt I needed a smokescreen for any erratic behavior I might project.
