I’m aware that the “one weird trick” headline has become so overused as click-bait that it’s now basically a parody of itself. I chose it here not only as a little self-deprecating humor — what kind of desperate writer actually resorts to such a lame headline, right? — but because, for what I think is the only time in my history of writing about poker, it actually captures my subject well.
A few weeks ago, I was playing in a home game that I attend semi-regularly. I managed to trap another player with a small flopped set to her overpair aces.
