> Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a hand that might seem a bit crazy at first, but it’s part of what I call my “Hidden Weapon” strategy — using weak hands from position in specific situations where logic and psychology outweigh raw card strength.

Tournament: $5.50 Bounty MTT
My Hand (PerfectMind!): 3♦2♦
Position: MP
Villain: Q♠J♥

Board:
Flop: 4♥ 3♣ K♣
Turn: 6♠
River: 7♦

✅ I raise preflop with 32s — yes, intentional.
✅ Villain bets flop and turn aggressively
✅ I call both with bottom pair and a read
✅ River checks through — I win with pair of threes

Pot: 9,160 chips

🎯 My reasoning:

Villain was showing bluffing behavior postflop

I had position + read + board interaction

I wanted to show that I can defend wide ranges smartly


🧠 Key takeaway:
Even weak hands like 32s can become weapons if used logically — especially in bounty formats where people over-bluff.

👉 What would you have done with 32s here? Would you fold flop? Float turn?
I’d love your thoughts — was this genius, lucky, or reckless?

If you had position... how did you open for a raise?

When we play very weak players we start thinking that weak plays that win have value---be very careful thinking this is a secret weapon---it could turn into a very big leak in your game

Report back after a while of using this strategy about how often you can find bluffs versus actual hands that take your bottom pair to value town.
