The beauty of checking

Last night, I passed the $3,000,000 play money mark. I achieved it on the penultimate hand, where I ended up going all in and doubling up. I was dealt pocket queens, and hit trips on the flop. I simply checked; checking can be a beautiful thing when you have such a strong hand. An opponent bet $2,800, and I raised to $5,600. He reraised to $10,200; I reraised to $14,800. I was prepared just to keep reraising until I was all in, but he only called my reraise. An ace came on the turn, I went all in, and he called. The river was a two. My set of queens beat his two pair of aces and kings to win a pot worth $80,402.

Today is December 13th, 2011. By December 13th, 2012, I aim to have grown my stack to $6,000,000 play dollars.

  1. Hey Neo,
    You probably know this now, but if you have QQ and the board is 2QK, then you have a 'set' of queens. Trips is when the board has two and your hole cards have one. Like if you had AQ and the board was QQK, then you would have trip queens. Anyways, good luck.
    Thanks,
    Al
