Getting paid....

[Longy]

Bet flop, bet turn, raise turn, close to the pot on the river.

Basically lets try again some money in the middle, there is no need to get clever in these tourneys just bet your hands for straight up value and profit.

[gatso]

lead, lead, lead, lead then lead again

we have a 4 and a 4 and another 4 and another 4 and want lots and lots of money in the middle

sometimes the other 4 will all fold but that's fine, we probs wouldn't have got anymore out of them however we'd played it in that case

I might slow play it against one or two players, certainly not against four or five.

Bet! Bet! Bet Again!

Checking this twice you should be reported to Pokerstars for soft-play.

you checked the river??? wow... looking at the hands maybe if you raised the turn you wouldn't have got action off most hands... but i'm sure the k9 woulda donked some chips and the pot woulda been bigger...

^^^ results orientated anyone??

people in these are calling stations and will call small bets with bare overcards which is why you should bet rather than check each street. You set the price and they will pay.

this is the exact way you shouldn't play flopped monsters
