Setting Traps and Falling into Them

It’s always fun when you flop or turn a big hand and your opponent has no idea what he’s getting himself into. It’s like recreational crab fishing, at least what I’ve heard of it, where you have bait at the end of a small, light string and you have to carefully pull the crab in without the crab letting go with his claws. You have to make sure the crab is fully committed until he gets to shore and is in your bucket.

It’s fun… except when you are the crab.

Playing Large Tournaments

At least playing large freeroll tournaments will give me some practice in the event I ever do enter a real tournament. But what a place to start, competing against 2699 other players for 1 of the top 27 spots, just for a few bucks. How am I supposed to approach this?
