Poker Stars, 5c/10c limit. I’ve been playing quite tight and getting a lot of bad cards, then these three within 5 hands of each other:
Hand #1:
In the BB I’m dealt:
Action is checked around to me and I check to the flop:
Full house! Tables checks to the turn (rag) and I bet. Everyone folds. Damn tight image.
Hand #2:
Dealt:
I raise and get two callers, flop:
Another full house! This time I bet and get one caller, we see the turn:
I decide to attempt a check-raise but my opponent just checks and we see the river:
A scary card, I check (wrong move) he bets and I decide to just call. Turns out he was bluffing so either way I probably wouldn’t have made money by raising here.
Hand #3:
I’m again dealt:
Lovely! I raise again… only one caller this time:
A set, this is unbelievable. Even with the potential flush out there I decide to try for a check raise, which again backfires and we see a free turn:
A potentially dangerous card, we’re heads up though so the chances of him having the straight are quite low. I bet and he instantly folds 
.
So… that’s three monster hands in a row and very little pay off for them. Good news is it did loosen up my image a little and 2 orbits later I got won a 15BB pot when I hit yet another full house. Good times!
Seriously though I’m going to think about these hands a little longer, I have a feeling I might have missed a couple of opportunities to extract an extra bet or two out of my opponents.
