80-160 commerce good must move 3rd game. full table. i have QQ in the bb. 2 off the button openraises. i dont know him but he seems to play too many hands and play too passively. folded to me and i 3 bet, he calls.
i bet the flop dark. it's 872 rainbow. he calls. i bet the turn dark. it's a T. there's a little glint of hope in his eye when he sees the card and calls. btw one great thing about betting in the dark is you can focus completely on your opponent's face at the moment they first see the new card. i wait to see the river card before betting. i dont want to see a J, T, 9, or 6 pop up and then have bet dark and have him raise me. that doesnt mean i wont bet any of those cards it just means i want to see what comes before deciding what to do. it's an 8. i now realise that he will see my waiting to bet as weakness so i check. plus i think he has a T. so he calls for time and starts getting this cocky look on his face and he asks me "AK eh?" and i just tap the table as a check again and dont say anything. he bets, i checkraise his ass, and he autocalls. mhig. did i finally get one right from start to finish? |

[/ QUOTE ] can't you do that w/o betting in the dark? they dont flash the new card and then take it away, you can look at it after your opponent [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |

Except that the opponent kind of expects you to look at him when you've bet dark. You don't have to worry about being surreptitious for fear he sees you looking at him. And they usually don't bother looking at you when you've bet dark.

I personally don't like it when a strong player bets in the dark, it signifies a lot of strength and above that the bettor is also gauging where other opponents thinks he stands. Unless I flop a big hand or draw, I usually wind up laying my marginal hands down.

" personally don't like it when a strong player bets in the dark, it signifies a lot of strength"
see but your smart. and this guy did not see me as a strong player. he saw me as a tilted kid who couldnt play. id been raising every fourth hand or whatever per my normal routine. so he mistook my blind betting as a challenge to him to outplay me. that's why made the bad call on the flop and the value bet on the river. and paid me off. |

In the old days your play would entice me to make exactly the same bonehead move your opponent made but because I've been burned so many times before I'd just check behind you, feeling as if I'd won a moral victory when you show down the winner but feeling like dog crap if you showed down AK or some other loser.
