OK, I am not that good but I thought this was quite a good trap.
See what you think: any good?
I CHECKED when I got the royal flush just to see if I could drag it to the river...
- The reason I just called with J10s pre-flop was because it was not a premium hand but it was only 2 big blinds to see the flop. Worst position on the table as well because SB folded.
- I saw the flush draw (and potential royal) so I C-betted half the pot. 2 people left and one called it.
- I see the card that makes Royal flush on the turn ... all I did was check because I wanted to make myself appear weak. I will rarely ever check if I have a good hand on the turn unless I know I have the nuts.
- He immediately sees weakness and goes in with almost half pot... he has a flush potential while already having QQ from the flop (obviously I don't know this yet!) I want this to get to the river to ensure he has the best hand possible!
- The river is perfect. It makes his flush with almost the best possible card: 9.
- He sees my half pot bet on the river and then he shoves all-in.
If I had have shoved all-in on the river he may have assumed I had either the 10 or J. I guess he may also have assumed I had a low club as well but hey...
I am certain there are flaws in my play but I am still learning.
