This happened in 1990 when Stu Ungar challenged reigning champion Monsour Matloubi to a heads up match. Matloubi has a 5-4 off suit while Ungar is holding a 10-9 off suit. Pre-flop Ungar raised 1,600 and Matloubi called. The flop is 3-3-7. Ungar bets 6,000 and Matloubi called. The turn is K and both players checked. The river is Q. Matloubi moves all in and Ungar said, “Either you have a 4-5 or a 5-6, I call.” Thus that’s how Ungar won on a high 10 hand.

This is done when you are the first to act on the flop. Everyone folded except for one opponent. You believe you can make the person fold on an all in bet. On the flop both of you checks. On the turn he checks and you bet. Checking again on the turn is usually a sign of weakness. Betting on him might make him take it down. You want the person to think you have a strong hand. That’s how to stop and go. Practice it and see how it goes for you.
