Here's an interesting example of how a play in one hand can set up a later hand for profit. Hand 1:

- What is noticable here of course is that when he plays back at me I fold (after much consideration). Message: I am tight. You can get me to fold by coming over the top of me. (Incidentally, I do think he was on KJ.)

Hand 2:

- I had already determined when I bet here that if he came back with a raise, I was going back at him. I knew when he flat-called that re-raise (and took a few seconds to do it) that the hand was over. Whatever he had, he was going to fold it when I bet the turn. And I was right.
