Not so rare as 619Leafs tries to make you believe.
As a matter of fact yesterday in a freeroll I was playing a player on my left who was a table bully and making some pretty poor plays, but was getting extremely lucky and getting whatever cards he needed to win with, when shoving preflop all in’s.
Well I waited patiently for 7-8 minutes until I got a hand that I really like playing, but I was out of position on this donkey with him being on my left.
Like so many
hands before this one, he preflop raised the blinds and everyone folded, when it came around to me, I decided to see a flop with my 10, J suited.
The flop was a 9, Q, K, all off suits, …… now having flopped da nuts, I decided to ........... TRAP him.
He made a continuation bet on the flop with a min raise of 50 chips
I paused for a moment and made the call
On the turn, a low card was drawn 6x, and he made another raise, this time it was for 150 chips, again I took a few seconds to think it over, and then made the call………just trying to wheel the fish in …. Lol
I did not have a large stack to begin with, each player started off with only 1000 chips.
On the river, I decided to make a bet, I made a raise for around 40% of my remaining chips.
The fish did not like that raise and re-raised me allin.
The fish had a A 6 off.
And the rest is history…….. I doubled UP and my TRAP performed as I had intended it to work :captain:
