My revenge on the Ax crowd -- except I got killed
So I get in with 33 in late position. The flop is like this:
A 4 8 rainbow (not totally sure about that last one; it's not important.
A medium sized bet goes in, which I call. I'm thinking I need a 3 on the turn or I'm packing up my bats.
And the turn is a 3.
Of course, I'm already writing checks against this pot now. And relishing, with a sort of sadistic zeal, the fact that those people [sic] who played their annoying crappy ragged aces will all be going broke now. I'm hoping to catch people on A8 AND A4 because quite frankly I deserve it.
You can probably sense what's coming: I put a fat tasty bet in and get called (and cracked) by this guy:
2 5 off
...leading me to my new strategy: if there are any two cards, real or imagined, that could beat you, you should fold. Because people playing online will have them.
An example:
Let's say you have a pair of aces and the flop is
7 7 7
In online poker rooms, you should immediately fold this full house (don't even try to check it through). Because I guarantee that someone is holding 72 off. Probably the guy who raised UTG. You should do this even if you can see a seven still clinging to the bottom of the deck.
(The above, of course, is just me being pissed off and stuff. Good luck, all)
