When you hold a monster hand or the "nuts", wait until the last round to raise!

Your Guru (who cares)

guru, doesn't it also work if someone else is raising, to raise them back?

maybe that is not wise, but you are the man to ask!!!!!

Nana, if you are pretty sure your hand will not be beat, STILL do not raise him back or he will drop out and you will lose all that "raisin'" money! Instead, CALL his every raise!

He will think that if all you are doing is calling, then he must have the best hand or you would raise back. So he will keep feeding the kitty for you!

THEN, on the last round of betting, RAISE him! Raise by a big amount because he will wrongly think of all the money he has put in the pot ... and he will call you. BANG! YOU GOT HIM!

Your Guru

Very Good Point Guru! And, if the last betting round is to me 1st, with the right circumstances (Feeling pretty sure I KNOW this player & how he will play it!)....I LOVE to slow-play my choice, and after much consideration..."he thinks, anyway"...I simply check it.

9 out of 10 times...this player thinks, they definately got it..so they bet large again.... THEN I Re-Raise that final HUGE amount, and usually take 'em out the game!!!
