The co-contender for Player of the Year, Raymer, dominated once again at a 5-handed tourney-style game at Kelly's basement on Sunday night during the Pats stompfest over the Jets. Raymer took out every single other player on the felt.
And he did it with true Hold 'Em savvy like:
- slow-playing consecutive trip hands on boards that flopped lots of high paint... or
- using position to over-bet marginal hands to get Steve to lay down potential winners in the blind... or
- bluffing from out of position to get Rebecca to lay down winners on big pots...
NOT by making donkey plays like calling dual all-ins on an A-K-10 flop only holding a pair of Deuces (but somehow still catching running-runner quads)... NOR by inflating chip stacks from head's up showdowns against even bigger donkeys who continue to believe in mystical 'wrap-around' straights!
Message from the Poker Gods to pseudoStuie: Blind luck is not valid strategy.
[Untreated foot odor, however, might just be the ultimate strategy, LMAO!]
P.S. - It's all tied up again, pseudoStuie!
