Funny dynamic here.

These hands happened literally almost back-to-back (the large stack change is because I flopped a set in the hand between these two). Pretty funny:

Owned.

Well played. You a lag player or was that just a picked spot.

Nice work...

Do you ever make plays like that first hand against a random opp without a read? I would probably piss myself if i was you and he called that turn bet. Losing 3/4ths of a buy in on 68o would hurt.

How often do you get called when you try this kind of thing? This reminds me of the type of thing that burns me sometimes when i have a hand like AK and it's unimproved and they even call the turn bet.

I never really do this against a random opponent. I had some notes on him to the effect that he may not have much of a hand, so I just decided to go with my guess and make this play.

For the most part it was just a whim that happened to pay off.
