The Move

[Gordogg]

Well, yes it is check raising the nuts on the turn, but initally you are semi bluffing on the flop. I find this play is profitable because it's hard for them to put you on the nuts when you check raise on the turn. When it's a flush draw.

You are check raising. This is about the surest sign of a monster hand there is. And you are doing so after the third flush card hits the board. How is it hard for them to put you on the flush, when your betting it literally saying, "I just made my flush!"

considering he thinks this is a revolutionary move... i can safely assume he will be shocked that we think it is obvious

Is this satire, and I'm just missing the humor?

Put yourself on the opposite end of "the move." Three of the same suit on the board, and your opponent check raises all-in. What the hell do you think he has?

haha i think i missed that line

I wasn't saying it would get the opponent to call your all in raise. It's intitial intent is to make the guy fold on the flop when you don't have anything yet. If he folds there great. If he calls your bet, and you hit your flush, check it in hopes that he will bet into you. (I forgot to mention, I'm talking about A or K high flush draws only) If you lead out on the turn when you make your flush, he will probably fold unless he has a flush as well. If you check you give him the opportunity to bluff at you, or bet a lesser hand su ch as trips or two pair. That part is simply just check raising on the turn when you have the goods. Most of you guys are decent players so I'm sure this isn't really a "move" in your eyes at all. It seems to work well for me on Party though. Laters.
