This hand takes place against Paul, who is an aggressive player but one who is young and unafraid to lay down when he thinks he is beat. Since I have been at the table, he hasn't lost a showdown(even when putting in action on previous streets). He has been stealing very aggressively and isn't afraid to make a move at the turn.

Paul open raises the button and I call with Ks9h in the BB.

The flop is 8sTs3d. I check-raise, he calls.

The turn is a Jh. I bet, he raises, I three-bet, he pauses and grimaces and calls.

The river is a 4, I bet.

I'm quite suprised worm33 doesn't like this. I like it a lot.

Good hand.

Your flop line is one of those "once in awhile lines"...and I know you mentioned that but I think it's worth mentioning again. Start doing it too much and you are being a little too reckless...

Agreed - in this particular situation he had been stealing frequently(and lightly) and it seemed like an okay time to play at it. The turn seemed to be a perfect card to keep my foot on the gas after he raised as I envisioned what I'd think with a hand like KT or A8 in his shoes - "Oh [censored]."

IMO he has you on JT and was hoping to counterfiet you on the river. I like it.

EDIT: I like the turn. I'm not sure i don't fold the flop though. yikes.

I'm not saying. Too many prying eyes on this board.

Just wait till you have something. Flop an open ender, a double gutter....a pair???? I dont know im of the opinion that in a full game against a good player out of posistion that im going to wait till i have one of the above before i go spraying chips all over.

it turns into a good play because of the sensitivity of the fold equity function of THIS particular player as it relates to his turn raise.

The sensitivity of the fold equity function. Good stuff.

Hhahahahahahahahhaaa. It's limit poker, dude. Anyone who can exploit your response to that post is way better than you anyway.

James,

Lines like this work very well for me. That is because I often play tighter and a little nittier than most of my opponents, and they all know that. If your opponent is suspicious of you in the least, this is chip-spewing. So, you tell me. Was it a good line?

[theBruiser500]

There are a lot of draws on the board, but I don't know if that means he could be semibluffing or he has a weak hand that needs to call the turn for one more bet and fold the river - or if he has a made hand of sorts with outs that he needs to call for one more bet, then will feel comitted to call on the river. I think it's the last one though.

Hey Diablo - I believed my image at the time was of the tight and nitty variety. This was my first night in town in several months and I hadn't made much noise at all. I would have seen me as a young kid, probably playing above his head since I am sure that Paul did not recognize me. That's my point, I think that good players so rarely bluff raise or reraise(because few situations warrant it in limit hold 'em) that I think you need to be capable of both to be as successful as you can be against the best players. BK has told me that I get out of line on the turn all the time - which isn't true - but the few times that I have have been so memorable that thinking players like him feel the need to pay me off with suboptimal hands in the future in case I am running them over.
