Here's the beauty of this game: I just got top two pair on the flop and I want to keep him in the hand. Against your average guy, I'd set a "bear trap", hardly bet at all, let him walk into it. But KGB's too smart for that. So, what I've got to do is over bet the pot,make it look like I'm trying to buy it.
Mike McDermott:
I bet two thousand

Then he plays back at me, and I get paid off.

Mike McDermott:

My guess is Teddy's on a flush draw.
Teddy KGB:
[checking his turn]
Burn and turn.
Mike McDermott:
[Narrating, while the turn card is dealt]
There's my money card, nine of hearts. I got a full house.
Teddy KGB:
[checking his turn, slow playing his hand]
To the bettor.
Mike McDermott:
Check's good.
Mike McDermott:
[Narrating]
Now I hope a spade falls and Teddy makes his flush. That way he'll bet strong, and I'll beat him with my nines full over aces.
Teddy KGB:
I'm going to bet fifteen thousand
Mike McDermott:

time
Mike McDermott:
All right, I call your fifteen plus I have another thirty three to raise you. Yeah, I'm gonna go all in, 'cause I don't think you got the spades
Teddy KGB:
You are right. I don't have spades.
Mike McDermott:
[Narrating]
I know before the cards are even turned over.
