[quote="iceman5"]If Im last to act with 88, I'll bet a 992 flop everytime. If anyone had a pair higher than 8's they wouldve bet and they wont call w/o a 9. If I get called, Im done, but I only need this to work every other time to break even and it works much more often.
This is a prefect example of my "stealing small pots".[/quote]
This is my favorite time to steal with small pairs as well. With the paired board - the steal has a high rate of success. Also, people love to slowplay trips - they'll just call with the 9 and every now and then, you make your boat on the river! Hello double up. That A9 never sees it coming.
