when pocket kings becomes a bluff-catcher 2010-06-11 - 1:15 a.m. A day of wheel spinning, although I won a little. When I first sat down, I planned a pretty good play against a "bets when checked to" dude who was getting away with a little too much. I pick up K ♠ K ♥ in an early-ish position and make it $15 to go. The target was on the button, and he calls, as he always does on the button. The small blind folded, and the big blind called. Three players. $45 in the pot. My stack is by far the smallest -- about $350. Flop: J ♣ 7 ♦ 5 ♥ Blind checks, I check, because I know the other guy will bet, and so he does, like clockwork. Don't you love a predictable player? He bets $45, and the big blind folds. Now I make it $100 to go. He calls. Yah, he does that too. Pot is now $245. Turn: 8 ♠ Well, if he was actually holding the T9, he just made the straight. I don't suppose that he actually holds those cards, but he's never seen me before, and he thinks I'm pretty tight based on the few hands we've played so far, so why not simulate some concern? Again, I check, and he makes the same move I've seen uncounted times in the last half hour. "All in," he says. "I'm all in." Yeah, sure you are, buddy, and you even think it's your idea. "Call," I say. River: 6 ♦ He slow-rolls by turning over first the T of hearts. I wait and eventually he somewhat sheepishly reveals the J of whatever, for top pair, ten kicker, broken straight draw. My pocket kings are good. It's the second time that someone has induced a big all-in out of him in ten minutes, and he's considerably cooled off after that. When someone busts the other weak player at the table, it's time to head back to the Roman place, where I play for several hours, without much of anything happening. back - next All Rights Reserved, Copyright 2002-2017 by Elaine Radford
