... are actually on your side!

Freeroll mtt on UB. Midway through the tourny. I've got a well above average stack and am on the button. Blinds are 75/150. Pre-flop and only on caller to me. I've got 74o. Using RippTyde's stratagy it's .... steal time!

I hit the pot with a 3Xbb bet. SB folds, BB folds, my opponent RAISES!

Uh oh. Two possibilities. Either he's trying to steal the pot out from under me or he's got a premium pair. What to do? What to do? Re-raising is out. His stack size is pretty small and he'll probabley just re-raise all in. So it's fold or call. Something in my gut says call so .... I do, sweating every second waiting for the flop.

And the flop comes up ... 744! I raise enough to drag him all in, he calls and my boat cracks his pair of kings.

Like I said .... sometimes the poker gods are on YOUR side!
