Baskin Robbins, Tuesday 2 Scoops for........ ah nevermind

Bet size is the most reliable tell (and as you know ur players more and more, how much they bet when they have certain hands, TP, Set,flush/straight draw etc) do they check bet big bet small, check raise etc.

There are other times where for some reason a hand just sticks out in your head and you cant really say why....but you have to go with it

Like the time I was playing a home game tourny, which was down to 4 people. Im the short stack, but not *that* short. The SB is the chip leader. UTG folds, and I raise with A3, the SB calls and the BB folds.Flop comes 9,3,5 i believe. First to act, he puts in an overbet which is equal to a little more than half my stack (thus putting me to a decision for all my chips) Immediately I have him put on A10, which has him drawing to a 3 outer. With only bottom pair, I quickly tell him to put in another (whatever I had left) he kind of shakes his head and replies I dont even know if I want to -- he obviously makes the call though.......he flips over A7 (basically the same thing) Really sucked when a 7 came on the river and knocked me out though.........

Sometimes you have a feeling and need to go with it -- i wouldnt put too much enphasis on this though. Id concentrate more on extracting the most moneyw hen you have the best hand, and losing the least when you dont
