Example
Let's say the action folds to you on the button with the snowmen. You raise 2.5x the BB, and only the SB calls. The flop comes down 8-4-2 rainbow, giving you top set. Your opponent decides to lead for half the pot, and you flat. The turn brings a king and when the SB checks, you check behind for deception. The river drops another duck, which looks like a brick but actually makes you a full house (88822). Your opponent goes all-in and when you immediately snapcall, he shows aces and is crushed when you table your boat.
