I've seen Kim Costa, & his brother, Peter Costa, both play large cash-games "cards unseen", & they rarely lost a Pot. They just stare at everyone else & pick up "reads".

Slight exaggeration there by Tikay - but yes, it was style I liked to use in cash games. In fact, I did this online as part of a lesson I was giving to a Canadian. As it happens, every hand I won turned out to be a bluff in the end. Obviously, I was very careful in terms of position and picking the right spots. The funny thing was, I showed every bluff and I still managed to get away with it.

After about an hour or so (playing 5-10 NL), I had turned the initial 200 into over 1200. I then declared to the student that I would play my last hand. I of course unclick the auto post before the last hand was dealt. Raising the usual 10 with 10 utg, it was no surprise to see eight or nine players call. Of course, as the last hand and being utg, there was no way I would be playing this one blind. Holding -9h, and flopping J-9-9, I found myself surprised and delighted to be set all-in on the flop. As it happens, the river was an Ace and my one opponent had made a bigger boat with his A-9. All that work for nothing!

Funny game this poker.

I've tried the playing blind on stars in exactly the same tournament in the past (trying out some ideas from Snyder's book) - and it is very interesting.  Be careful what tape you use on a TFT screen though if you try it.  Masking tape is a better idea than parcel tape....I'm sure I read somewhere about someone ruining a screen using the wrong tape.

Thanks Pete, great story. When you are next in the UK, you have an Invite waiting to appear on Sky Poker & show us a few of your special skills. Contact myself or "skrikera" via PM please, & it'll be sorted.

Sammy farha is very sick man.  Raising to $5000?! blind  several hands in a row on the latest high stakes episode(blinds are $300-600, $100 ante). Then continuing to play dark on the flop. Got busted twice  by the way.

I played a live cash game for 6 hours at Luton last night, one guy raised EVERY pot blind, and called EVERY opening raise blind all night, and we couldn't bust him.
