Playing Your Hand Backwards
December 18, 2008 01:43:05 Backwards Sometimes the analytical mind of a poker player can be a hindrance to maximizing your profit. I realize that we should normally stick to solid fundamentals and vary our play as situations dictate. However, playing a hand backwards is a tactic, when used sparingly, that can net you tons of chips and leave your opponent speechless.
The other night I was holding [A][5] suited in hearts. I called a 3x’s raise from the big blind with only myself and the Big Blind in the pot with the raiser. The flop came down [3][X][X] with one heart. Obviously, I am going to fold to any big get but the hand checked around to me and I decided to bet the pot. The BB immediately folded and the original raiser called. At that point I had him on nothing or he may have hit a set. The turn brought another heart to the board. Now my wheels are turning. The better checked to me. I am sure he was hoping I was going to bet out so that he could re-raise.
Nope!
I took the free card and hit the river for the flush. The board didn’t pair and the river was the King of hearts which was perfect. My opponent then bet out and then I re-raised for half his stack. He pushed and I immediately called his all-in bet with the nutz. He turned over a set of threes.
Summary: No, I would not have slow played my set in the same manner and certainly would not have given the free card on the turn. However, by betting out I did not give them impression that I was on a flush draw and made my opponent overreact to the re-raise on the river. Therein lies the power of playing a hand backwards. When the opportunity is right take advantage of it.
