its a tough situation... I always like to set traps but it seems like it is almost impossible since every time I have AK the flop comes like A-7-8 with 2 hearts or something and you have to bet out to protect your hand because if you let them hit the flush or straight, your going to hate yourself lol.

If they fold, they fold. I rather win a small pot than lose a large pot. This is really true at the beginning of tourneys when your trying to keep the pots small.

your play depends on what type of players youre playing against.... personally i would bet about 2/3 the pot for information, you know youre only going to get called by a guy on a draw or MAYBE a guy with a set (anyone who just calls here with 2 pair with a flush out there is just asking for trouble, same with a guy with a set but i find that people ar ewilling to check/call slowplay on a flop with 2 of the same suit / 2 to a straight when they have a set) if youre against people who will call an all in on a big draw, let them do it when they have 1 card to come, not 2. charge them a nice amount on the flop anyways, that way the pot is nice nd juicy for them to call the rest of their chips off 3-1 on the turn. if they fold to your all in, then you're fortunate, but in tournaments i beilieve that this is the right play against any player who loves to chase, or even against a smarter player who will give up a draw on the turn; either way you get them to call as an underdog on the flop, and they are forced to make a very uncomfortable decision on the turn. if you know they have a draw and hit it on the turn, you can just fold and use the same play again later.... this play is a great tool for busting idiots in online tournies (it doesnt work as wel in person in my experience, maybe thats just because i play with better people in person than online)

John Baker is right. If there are two hearts on the board AND connectors, then you've got to make it expensive to draw that next card. You've got top pair good kicker, push some money in and see.

I was thinking the same thing.

But what's up with that sig line? If UB is the devil, I guess I sold my soul .

Default Dunno About you...


Not sure about you, but I go all in with 2 Hearts on the board. It is 3/4 the guys stack or possibly 1/2, and it never fails that I get called and he makes his flush. On the other side I usually miss mine. heh. I guess thats why you need to get luck sometimes..
