Nice one Don, & keep up that good run. Posted by Tikay10
Thanks Tikay, currently sitting joint-top of my local Poker League aswell so hoping to stay there to get a trophy just to say i done it. Also going to start going to a casino on a weekly basis(well once financially i can support it).
But thanks for all the support guys, just want to keep on improving and maybe play with some really good players one day (not that i dont know but to play with some names that people may know) not because i want the money but i like the enjoyment of the game.
I often fish with the up and down straight draws, not always just sometimes, depends on my mood at the time, really scientific eh? Posted by loonytoons
Do you have any "tells" so that we know what mood you are in?
I think you're asking how to get opponents to lay down draws? Most players (especially at lower stakes) like to chase their draws so the only thing you can do is bet your hands strong, charging them to outdraw you and in the long term, you'll succeed - unfortunately sometimes they'll hit but more often than not, they won't so we actually want them to be calling away! As people have eluded to, it's about giving them the wrong price so calling becomes a negative play - I'll happily have people drawing against me because I'm going to take all their chips when they don't hit and I'll just treat the times they do as a "tax" on the winnings I'll earn in the long term! In this specific scenario, the only thing I'd have done differently was bet all your stack on the flop not 75% - it gives opponent an even worse price to chase and they would probably call that anyway so you're earning more when they don't hit...not to mention, it takes difficult decision away on the turn if straightening card comes down so move in, when you think you're ahead and in the long term, you won't go far wrong!

Totally agree 100pc, i shouldn'd really let in on the lowdown from the fish community for whom i have recently been elected as chairman but it is part of our mantra to call, call and call again.As far as we're concerned as the pot slowly grows so do the pot odds,if you think your'e trapping with a made hand,we'll sniff out a draw and follow it till we get you ! You have been warned
