nice trap, gh

Re: sometimes poker\'s just plain fun
 

HE'S MIXING UP HIS PLAY. THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO PLAY A HAND LIKE KK; THE KEY IS THAT HE GOT HIS OPPONENT TO COMMIT ALL HIS CHIPS WITH AN INFERIOR HAND, BEFORE SEEING THE FLOP. HE PROBABLY WAS GOING FOR THE OLE LIMP-MINRAISE THAT THE TOP PROS DO. HE WAS FOILED BY THE ALL-IN, OF COURSE, BUT THE END RESULT WAS HE WON THE MANIAC'S STACK.
