Online poker at VirginPocker.com

This was probably the biggest pot which I won in last nights game on VirginPocker.com. From the small blind I picked up (J,9) and along with the button player, flat called. The flop was extremely kind, falling (Qh,Kd,10h).

I checked, and the big blind led out with a bet of 600 which was around three times the big blind. The button player called, and I made a calculated risk to flat call and let another card come off.

I obviously did not want to see a heart or any card which paired the board and potentially made a Full House for one of my opponents. The (4s) was a harmless card and I was happy to see the big blind player raise another 800. The button player called, and I decided it was time to test just how strong my opponents hands were. I raised all in for another 2,500 and the big blind quickly called. The button player folded, and I was surprised to see the caller turn over a King for top pair. I spoke to him later and he said he felt I was on a draw.

This may seem like a loose call, but my table image is that I like to bluff often and this shows that you can get paid off much more often with this type of table image at Virgin Pocker. I had 10,500 after this hand which would have been a comfortable amount to take to the final table of eight players, but then unfortunately poker never seems to work out perfectly, and two hands later I doubled up a short stack when he got very lucky with (Ac,Qs) against my (Ah,Kh).

All in all, an exciting game of online pocker at VirginPocker!
