Shower Shuffle
this is what phil laak calls it anyway. basically, he says he thought it up when he realized that its hard to win alot of chips when you make the nut flush on the turn. his 'strategy' is to push allin on the turn (when he makes the flush) and flip over his ace before going into the tank.
he reports that its worked, what do you think? viable stategy, unethical, or borderline? i dont see anything wrong with it, but thats just me. -pug |

i dont get it [/ QUOTE ] The idea is obviously that if you don't show your cards, your opponent will fear you've made a flush. But, if you show just the Ace of the flush suit, your opponent may suspect that you just have the nut flush draw and will call you. |

Re: Shower Shuffle
Ok I should have outlined the board
Flop A 4c 6 Turn, River cc AK clubs vs 44 Therefore showing my A does not automatically mean that I have the flush. Also Daliman is probably right that this is was a misapplication of the original idea but it worked and I like money. |

[/ QUOTE ] as someone said this is from an article in a poker magazine and i was writing it to the best of my recollection and obviously missed a vital word or two. sorry for the confusion. on another note, his idea involves going allin on the turn, with the flush (incase this isnt already clear). -pug |

Re: Shower Shuffle
There are a couple of things I don't understand here.
One is your use of "going into the tank." In the words of Inigo Montoya, I do not think it means what you think it means. Another is why Phil Laak calls it "Shower Shuffle." |

its just an angle shoot. [/ QUOTE ] It's not an angle shoot. A key component of being an angle shoot is that the play is unethical. |
