Breaking up a .50 game in 5 minutes

[riffraff]

playing a quick round before I head into work...

.50/$1 Paradise

<font color="blue">Hand #1</font color>

Dealt on the BB: 7[img]/forums/images/icons/spade.gif[/img] 6[img]/forums/images/icons/heart.gif[/img]

UTG limps, 2 MPs limp, SB completes, I check.

Flop: 5[img]/forums/images/icons/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/forums/images/icons/club.gif[/img] A[img]/forums/images/icons/spade.gif[/img]

Checked around.

Turn: 2[img]/forums/images/icons/spade.gif[/img]

Decent UTG player bets, MP1 calls, MP2 folds, SB folds, I check-raise, both call.

Turn: J[img]/forums/images/icons/heart.gif[/img]

I bet, both fold. I show my bluff like an ego-maniac.


<font color="blue">Hand #2</font color>

By the time the BB gets around to me again, the whole table is almost cleared out. I didn't un-check the auto-post button so I'm in there 3-handed with 5[img]/forums/images/icons/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/forums/images/icons/club.gif[/img]

Button folds, SB completes, I check.

Flop: 8[img]/forums/images/icons/club.gif[/img] 6[img]/forums/images/icons/club.gif[/img] 7[img]/forums/images/icons/club.gif[/img]

!!! I can honestly say I've never flopped a straight flush heads up in in a 3-handed game before.

SB bets, I call.

Turn: K[img]/forums/images/icons/spade.gif[/img]

SB checks. Hmm this may be the whole pot! I bet, he pauses, then calls.

Turn: [b}4:diamond[/b]

He checks, I bet, he folds. Oh well [img]/forums/images/icons/wink.gif[/img] Off to work!

I was playing on Paradise last night and saw someone show a ridiculous bluff.

I hadn't noticed him before but immediately thought "hot-shot", probably an RGPer! [img]/forums/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Sure enough, he folded the next few hands. He then raised pre-flop and I knew it was gonna be big (think it was Q's).

You may be advertising more than you think when you show those hands.
