I just was watcing some no limit. $25/$50 blinds.PLayer 1 raised the pot 200 He had A4. Player 2 called with J10.The flop came A98Player 1 bet 300 player PLayer 2 calledThe turn came 2. Player 1 bet 300 again. Player 2 called.The river came 4. The board now was A9824. PLayer one bet 50. I was thinking hmm guess he ain't strong at all. Player 2 raised him 1500. He called right away and took a huge pot. Do any of you no limit players every use this sort of "trap" I think this type of play can be very effective.

It's the "weak lead". Aggressive players will see that small bet and raise. Where were you watching this?

excatly what part of this was a "great play"

The guy bet small, knowing the other guy would raise as a bluff. Aggressive players, as most are at those limits, will see that bet as a sign of weakness and try to bluff them out of the pot.That play was beautiful.

I don't know.A good play, to be sure, but it seems as though the mini bet screams strength as often as it screams weakness. But that's just my observations with it.

I was watching it on Royal. while playing my micro limits.Tey have high limit no limit play there. Goes up to 100/200 tables with guys with $100 000 stacks. But this was atthe 25/50I see alot of low limit no limit players do that, and they are in fact weak. I guess he pulled a little number on the guy. The very next hand the guy who lost the pot went all in (tilt). Some guy wrote in chat easy easy. lol
