Once to a nice profit when it should have been a slpit pot. Flop + turn is AKQJ, you have the T, obvious from the raise, reraise, rerraise that he does too. but hold in, act like an idiot. pause, stare oat the board real hard, do the fake muck, then say 'what the hell, I call' If the board pars on the river go all in as fast as you can, and get smug. he has to put you a two pair & boat draw that hit. You have just put him on a decision for all his chips. Of course you have just a little downside risk (he with AK where the board pairs A or K) . he calls you split, smile and don't try it again on that table...cause your a made wiseguy. but if you can pull it off, you get the whole pot. I have never pulled it off online, only B&M...but to a ver nice profit Doyle Brunson has a trick in his Super System that I have used a few times.

Though, I think I had two things working against me: 1. Online. A little hard to do acting online. In a B&M casino I've gone back and checked my cards and tried to appear weak when I have the monster hand to lure in some extra bets before but online they don't know if your delay is thinking or a network problem so it's hard to convey anything. 2. Low Limits. Hell, some of these guys will stay with you all the way to the river with top pair so shaking someone off an ace high straight simply isn't going to happen even if they buy into the chance that you might be holding the boat on them. Plus, with the pot that large (pre-flop raising, getting 4 or 5 callers, raising on the flop, raising on the turn, etc.) they're technically correct to see one more bet regardless of what they're holding.
