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.
