How to misplay The Power of 4, by a 2+2 newbie

The rookie needs work

(see his second post, if it doesn't take you right there)

Joe420, next time, don't bury it... unless you're trying to set up a personal thread for some reason.

**GASP!!**

How dare a rookie misplay the almighty "4".

BTW - I am now a believer in "4".

Last hand of of my last tournament I played (2 weeks ago).

We are heads-up and I'm on the button. Blinds are 400-800.

I am dealt K [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Villian (super tight aggressive) raises T800. I almost fold my hand but have him out chipped marginally, (F-it, I'm tired slightly drunk) I call.

Flop comes: 4 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]4 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]J [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Villian stares at board for a minute, fondles his chips, then checks to me.

I stare at him, fondle my BIGGER stack, and check (oooooooh, can you feel it?)

Turn is: K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

Villian (still fondling) cuts out his T800 and anounces his all-in raise.

WHAT!?!?!? Doesn't he....Isn't he....aware there are two 4's on the board?!?!?

Well spank me till I like it!! I grin, throw back the last of my Rosso Reserva , and call him flipping over my K4, preparing for the massive scoop by jumping up and moon-walking (my table, my house, dude had it coming).

He turns over K,J praying for the miracle however, none of that would happen as I hold "THE POWER", the "4".

A little tinsy winsy "2" swims through the river and I'm crackin another bottle of "Rosso" open baby!!

Ah yes, I too was a non-believer. But until you experience the power, you will never know.
