3AM Strip poker. Full 1-2 game, very live, several non English speaking Asians. Perfect.

UTG L, F,F,F, L, I raise to $15 ($270) with the red Qs (QhQd), Button calls ($280), BB($400), UTG($800) and MP L ($200?) all call.

($75) 5 WAY FLOP = 9c 7s 3c

Check to me, I bet $50 and only button calls. He's a tourist that's up too late, just taken a serious beat that involved a HUGE laydown to a turn three flush push. I feel certain AA, KK, QQ and maybe JJ are not in his range. After that....?

($175) HU TURN = 2c

I'm unhappy with this card but very close to committed. I check. But takes a second or two, checks his cards, takes a couple more then bets $60.

Next to nobody at LLSNL checks their hand if they have the flush here. Really. They have two cards who's suits they cannot remember (I never forget). I now range him pretty well. 9X, TT, 88, JJ, and less likely given the odd bet size, 77, 33, 97s.

I push $205 to (just barely) deny FD odds. I don't know what I'd have done without his peek.

...Did you win his satin boxer shorts?

It is a tell that when someone posts a new thread on a common topic like this then they haven't searched for previous active threads...

Enjoy!

Against certain aware opponents, I like to check my hand when I have the flush. I'm sophisticated enough to do that a couple of times then not do it against that specific opponent for four or five months.

Do you hear that? It's the sound of mods coming to close

thread has full blown SARS

I guess I have to put a stop to it then.

OP, this is a strategy forum. Post your brags in one of the many Brags, Beats and Variance threads and forums on 2+2.

Locked.

This is not only true, it is so true that when I clicked "close thread," it actually re-opened it, as venice had ninja'd me.

Re-closed.
