In the parlance of No Limit Texas Holdem, a player who is dealt king-jack (K-J) is said to be holding "Kojak."

Still, Andrew bet again. Rhett called. When the dealer turned over a 9, completing Andrew's straight, Andrew bet $30,000, the biggest bet of the night thus far. After long deliberation Rhett called, and watched grimly as half his stake was pushed to Andrew. About a half hour later I was dealt K-J in late position. I raised and Rick called from the small blind. The flop brought thee garbage cards, 8-6-2. Rick immediately bet $10,000, which was considerably more than the size of the pot. I figured he was bluffing, and raised to $20,000 representing a big pair and figuring he would fold. He called. The next card was a harmless looking 3. Rick checked and I bet $20,000 again, figuring he would fold. He called again. The last card was a 7. Rick checked again, and I bet $35,000, figuring once again that he would fold. He thought for a long time, and finally turned over his hand showing Q-Q! Needless to say I had no idea his hand was that strong. I tried to maintain a confident look, as he talked to himself about whether to call or fold. Finally, he persuaded himself that I must have either A-A or K-K, and he folded. I showed him a jack, leading Rick and the rest of the table to assume that I had held J-J and had mistakenly thought I had the best hand. Because of my image as a conservative player, no one thought I had put $75,000 in the pot on a bluff. And I did not want to disabuse them of that view. I was luckier than I deserved. My game plan going in was to play aggressively against everyone except Rick, who has a reputation for liking to play big pots and who will make an "all-in" bet no matter what he holds, putting you to a difficult decision. I vowed I would only mix it up with him when I had a strong hand and was willing to risk my whole stake. I had abandoned the game plan and it could easily have cost me most of my chips. I took a short break, breathed a sigh of relief, and reminded myself not to do that again. For the next few hours I concentrated on picking on the conservative players, most of whom were playing cautiously. Then I was dealt Kojak again. Like the previous time I was in late position, but this time both cards were hearts. By the time the action came around to me seven players were in the pot for $400 each. I raised to $3,000 hoping to win it right there or at least narrow the field to two or three players. Only one player called my raise. Tom, one of the leading Supreme Court lawyers in Washington, had entered the game late when another player took a long break. Like Rick, Tom loves to play a hyper-aggressive style. If you get involved in a pot with Tom, you can expect all your chips to end up in the middle of the table. The dealer brought me a beautiful flop: J-9-5 with two hearts. Not only did I have the top pair, I also had a flush draw for backup. Tom checked and I bet. He check raised me $10,000 and I moved all in. Tom knows me well enough to know that I would not do that without a strong hand, and I expected him to fold. When he said instantly "I call" I was startled and a bit concerned. But when I turned over my hand his face dropped and I knew I was in good shape. It turned out he had the 8-6 of hearts. He thought he had a huge drawing hand, and that he could win the pot if any heart or any 7 came. But I had higher hearts, which meant there were only three cards in the deck that would help him - the three non-heart sevens. Fortunately for me no sevens appeared and I scooped a $230,000 pot, the biggest of the night. For the third time a big pot had been won by Kojak.

Read More »I went to bed at 2:30 am, but the game continued. I learned the next day from Tom that he had recouped all the chips he lost to me in a hand where he held (you guessed it) K-J. The flop had come J-J-4. Rick held A-A and another player (Ethan) held J-9. All three checked on the flop, disguising the strength of their hands. When a king was dealt on fourth street, Tom made a full house. Ethan made a substantial bet with his three jacks. Tom just called and Rick raised. Ethan called the raise and Tom re-raised. Rick moved all in. Figuring he was beaten by either Rick or Tom, Ethan made a tough laydown. Tom called and doubled up at Rick's expense. It remains to be seen how the television audience responds to the Executive Poker Tour when it is broadcast, but thanks to Kojak I had a great time. I cashed out a solid win, ten percent of which I happily donated to Project Lifesaver.
