Default Trapping Money

Here's an example of playing at an aggressive table and getting all my money in when I think I have the best hand. I was in early position and called, hoping someone would raise, then went All-in to try and isolate him. A second opponent jumped in, but he drew blanks.

PokerStars Hold'em No Limit ($0.05/$0.10) - 2007/01/06
Table 'Sonja II' 9-max Seat #9 is the button
Seat 2: jammit79 ($10.35 in chips)
Seat 3: poche_sk8er ($7.65 in chips)
Seat 4: Scheinbild ($1.85 in chips)
Seat 5: Iceberg ($2 in chips)
Seat 6: timswager ($9.05 in chips)
Seat 7: Man1nTheBox ($27 in chips)
Seat 8: bigamandus ($7 in chips)
Seat 9: Khavotar ($17.30 in chips)
Foothill Man was removed from the table for failing to post
jammit79: posts small blind $0.05
poche_sk8er: posts big blind $0.10
*** HOLE CARDS ***
Dealt to Iceberg [Kc Kd]
Scheinbild: folds
Iceborg: calls $0.10
timswager: folds
Man1nTheBox: calls $0.10
bigamandus: raises $0.10 to $0.20
Khavotar: folds
jammit79: folds
poche_sk8er: raises $0.30 to $0.50
Foothill Man joins the table at seat #1
Iceberg: raises $1.50 to $2 and is all-in
Man1nTheBox: folds
bigamandus: calls $1.80
poche_sk8er: calls $1.50
*** FLOP *** [2s 4s 8s]
poche_sk8er: checks
bigamandus: checks
*** TURN *** [2s 4s 8s] [Ad]
poche_sk8er: bets $5.65 and is all-in
bigamandus: folds
*** RIVER *** [2s 4s 8s Ad] [9d]
timswager is sitting out
*** SHOW DOWN ***
poche_sk8er: shows [Td Tc] (a pair of Tens)
Iceberg: shows [Kc Kd] (a pair of Kings)
Iceberg collected $5.85 from pot


I sweated it a bit when the potential flush was flopped and also when the Ace Turned up. BUT it ended well for me. I got 2 to 1 for my KK.
