Re: What just happened here?
How come you raised pf here from SB? b/c no one else did and you thought you were ahead?

I think there is probably an Ace out there somewhere, but I think KJs is a good enough hand to raise when you have limpers as you have alot of ways to make a very good hand and raising will give you odds on future streets to hang around on any straight or flush draws. Also this raise is table dependent. I have shown down and won some good hands that I have played aggressively. I am hoping these people remember that and play accordingly, which is why I bet out on the flop. Usually this is a useless ploy becuase as many know micro players are like a pair of dice, they dont remember the last roll, but in this instance it worked like a charm. And I dunno, but this hand just felt like I did it right, it felt like I played it like an expert player would have. I dont get that feeling very often, if ever. In most hands, even the ones where I drag a big pot, there is always the should have I or the what ifs, this hand there just wasnt. |
