Not half as dramatic as VAR's, but a great case for aggression.

As I recall, that's the same way I played the hammer when smoore crushed me with quads.

Lol. Hey, every now and again aggression loses.

[Limit Breaker]

I remember at a local tournament, I crippled this one guy so bad.

Everyone folded to me (D) and I raised 3.5x BB knowing the BB was tight. But he called.

Flop came 9 10 K

BB bet the pot. I immediately put him on the King and knew he wasn't drawing to the flush and was afraid I was or he would've checked s usual to see a free card. This guy was scared of flushes all night and folded top pair once on the turn to a flush draw. He probably suspected I had a straight or flush draw. I called.

Turn: A Crap!!! There goes my bluff I thought. For a tight player to bet the King agressively meant he probably had the A with it. I was pretty sure he had 2 pairs. As I expected, he bet almost the pot again. I called.

River: 7 Oh wow! I think like Phil Helmuth (haha) I "looked into his soul" and saw his 2 pairs crumble. I was begging for a check and got it. I had a lot more chips so I decided to put the guy all in with the usual "How much do you have left" test of will.

He thought about it; showed me the K A then threw it to the center of the table.

I then layed the 7 2 face up to his agony. I think I put him on Tilt that lasted weeks as he changed his game from tight to a more loose Gus Hansen style and actually did quite well weeks later
