When Trapping Goes Wrong? David Vs Player L

Will Player L’s Plan Backfire vs David At Bally Live Poker?

Let’s take a look at this hand that was played between “Player L” & David at Bally Live Poker. What will happen when two maniacs collide? The action was live-streamed on Bally Live Poker’s YouTube channel on the 6th of May 2024. The blinds were $50/$100 + a $100 big blind ante.

Any two cards will do? it sure seemed that way when David ($67.1k) raised it up to $300 from the +1 with 83. In the high-jack was the ever-aggressive Player L ($23.2k), this time around he had a hand though, pocket Aces! AA.

“L” 3-betted his likewise aggressive opponent, and this led to the rest of the table folding, the action was now back on David.

Knowing his opponent is just as loose as he is and could have a magnitude of hands here, David feinted strength by 4-betting it to $3,300. With pockets Aces in hand, “Player L” opted to get trappy and just flatted the raise. Off to the flop they went with $6.9k in the middle.

A Better Flop Than David Had Probably Envisioned

The flop was a connected one when 465 was revealed, Player L was still ahead, David, however, had picked up an up-and-down straight draw. First to act David continued his pre-flop aggression with a lead out bet of $2,000. Facing such a wet board, “Player L” had no intention of continuing to slow play his pocket rockets. He retaliated with a raise of $4.5k.

It’s Gamble Time For David

With the pot now standing at $13.4k and “Player L” having just $15.4k behind, David’s next play was to move “all in”. Knowing just how loose his opponent was, “Player L” made the call and was a 64% favorite to win the hand.

the turn was a complete Blank J and David was now a 5-1 dog to win the hand. “Player L” sighed a sigh of relief when another brick hit the river Q. You have to feel he would have been kicking himself had his trap backfired, as it was, his slowplay pre-flop allowed him to pick up a huge $46.7k pot.
