Inducement

Inducement is one of my favorite tactics. Making a fishy fishy bet that looks like a complete steal. The most common defense some players have is to come over the top. Check this luckball hand that I skillfully won the game on.

*** TURN *** [Jh 3c 5d] [6h](Now I have the heart draw, mixed blessing card)
hicks6831 bets 40(I suspect he has a pair of 6's 3's or 5's. I'll call because I believe that a heart, king or nine will win this pot)
Bender2006 calls 40
*** RIVER *** [Jh 3c 5d 6h] [Qh](Sweet, heart)
hicks6831 bets 120(Oh baby he's made better than sixes. Possibly A-J, A-Q or Q-J. He may take me all the way)
