 [Full text recreation-and-leisure | gambling | online articles - Content for Reprint] Winning Texas Holdem Strategy: The sandwich effect is related to the gap concept and states that you need a stronger hand in order to stay in the pot, if there are one or more opponents yet to act behind you.

 [The Daily Punt betting forum] Raising When Drawing: This time your current pot odds will not be quite so good, and against 1 or 2 players you have a very good chance of causing him to (or perhaps both of them 3way) fold if you put in a decent pot sized raise with just the draw. Again like someone mentioned before me, if you DO get called then your hand is that bit more disguised than had you just flat called (a flush draw is the most obvious of all draws) and against 1 or 2 opponents they might very very well fold anyway (especially if you have a good tight image at the table).

 [Jebber99's Poker Blog] You just never know in Poker: Lost a few to AJ in the blind.  Called because of pot odds and didn’t hit.  I just laid down 10’s on the button when the guy in front of me goes all in.  Uh uH I’m not getting sucked in this time.    He gets one caller.   The cards are flipped up.  55 vs 22 and the 5’s win.  I hate to repeat myself but WTF????????   I’m afraid to play anything here.  No telling what the guy had that put me all in when I had the QQ.  Well,  I don’t think he’s played a hand since so I guess he had the goods.   Actually he just lost a bunch calling someones all in with 10 10.   Oh well I’m letting it go.  We are almost through the first hour and I want to come back today.   LOL

[Boogster's Blog] Sunday. +$263: Woke up at 8am this morning and started playing at the Trop.  There was only one $2/$5 NL going and most of the players had been there for the entire night.  It got pretty wild.  Due to the crazy players, I was up and down for the entire 3 hours.  I won one $800 pot where I flopped top pair (jacks) with a king kicker and my opponent flopped top pair with a queen kicker.  We got it all in on the flop and my hand held up.
