Owening the Table

After a quiet opening level, Irish pro Owen Robinson has sparked into action and built his stack up to above average. One key hand saw him call a preflop raise with {A-}{J-} on the button, leading to a {A-}{Q-}(X) flop. The initial aggressor bet, and Robinson made the call.

The turn came an off-suit jack to give Robinson two pair, but he trod cautiously, just flat calling a second consecutive bet.

The river was the "money card," Robinson filling up with another jack. His opponent checked, before flat-calling a bet of 8,000 with an inferior {A-}{Q-}. Consequently, Robinson is now up to 50,000 and playing with increasing confidence.
