This makes poker fun

I had been going quite strong, and the table seemed to be running scared of me, often folding on my preflop raises and downplaying their good hands towards me, so I decided to try a little bluff.

I'm on the button, my hand: 7c 3s

I raise $0.50 (my standard). One guy calls.

Flop: Kc Jh 2h

check/check

Turn: 3d

Opp checks. I raise $1. Opp calls $1. Damn.

River: 7d

Opp raises $1.70. I call.

Jackvance wins with 2 pair, opponent mucked (didn't look to be honest, was kinda laughing).

No need to be trying stuff like that, but if you want to then at least wait for a hand with some outs.
Something like 56s or 75s would be much better.

Ya, my favorite hand to do this with is T8s. Its almost like you are playing omaha with AKT8. If an A or K flops, you can cont bet and take it down. If a T or an 8 (or a 97/9J) flops you have a legitimate hand, but the opps aren't gonna believe you and call you down with their 55.

Glad I'm not the only one who does this.

playing 2/4 limit over the weekend. Had been hitting everything under the sun and folks were starting to run and hide to my raises.

Raised in MP with 72s. got 2 callers. ( oops )

flop gives me 2 pair " yee ha" with a straight draw board.

I bet, get a call and a raise and I call the raise.

turn fills up the draw even more. I check, check and LP bets,we both call.

River bring another 7 "bingo" I check,check LP bets, I raise MP folds and me and LP cap it.

He went ballisic. called me every name in the book yelling how could you call a raise with 72. The other guy says ...no he didn't call your raise he raised preflop...... Guy sat out then left.

Can't take a joke I guess.

I know this was really a bad play and don't do it that often, I just like to do it once in awhile especially if there are a couple of "experts" at the table.

Min-raise river. That way you really look like an idiot.

Bet river because of the guy stuck in between. Then reply "I play bad."
