Oregon Aces, Re-Thinking my Position

When I first began regular live tournament play I had a "secret" pre-flop raising hand.  There were conditions that had to be met.  First, I had to be the first to enter the pot.  Second, the cards had to be off-suit.  Third, they had to be 2/3.  Call it my bluff hand if you will, but it worked out very well for me on several occasions.  The reason I liked the hand is because it is so well hidden when you hit big.  I first saw an Asian guy play it that way in a cash game at Spirit Mountain casino.  He flopped a wheel and won a giant pot with big aces paying him off.  It of course has failed me miserably at times as well, like once when I flopped two pair and was counterfeited on later streets.

So, this morning playing in a SNG online, I lost half my chips to 2/3 when he called my pot size bet then hit two pair on the turn.  My final hand in the tournament was also against 2/3.  I limped in late position with K/9 of clubs.  The board was 4/5 clubs/X.  The flop was checked or min bet.  The turn was a blank and I bet out pot size.  The 2/3 of clubs shoved, I called.  The river?  The 6 of clubs, what else?  Straight flush takes it down.

So, anyway, for those of you who read my blog and play against me, BEWARE!!!!!  The Oregon aces may be in play!!!!!  Side note:  many in Oregon have not heard this widely used Washington poker term.
