On Wednesday, Hevad “RaiNKhaN” Khan won the $2,000 buy-in no limit hold’em preliminary event at the 2008 Foxwoods Poker Classic, winning $108,000.

Khan, who gained fame in reaching the final table of last year’s World Series of Poker main event, beat a field of 192 people to win the event. But that is just part of Khan’s recent string of success, according to pokerkingblog.com

Anyways, the last month has been a particularly good one for Khan.

First he took 14th in the main event of the WSOP Circuit event in Atlantic City. This was good for $13.4k, but Khan was just getting started. A few weeks later, Khan outlasted 2503 other players and took down the Sunday Warm-up on Pokerstars for $98k, which was his biggest online cash ever. As you can imagine, Khan used his subdued and calm nature to patiently navigate his way through the tournament.

Whole thing here.

Khan, who got a lot of TV time last year for his antics at the WSOP, may have to be more subdued at this year’s events — new rules have been made to try to curtail excessive celebration.

The setup: You've had an uneven session so far and it's been a bit since you won a hand. This hand there's a poster in the hijack preflop. The table folds to him and he checks. You raise $200. The button folds and the SB three bets to $825. The BB and hijack fold, and you flat.

You have a good amount of history with the raiser. He is a very active three bettor and seems to have your number in recent sessions. He is very aggressive against your preflop raises, especially if there's a squeeze opportunity. He's also a pretty steady continuation bettor.

You flop about as dry as can be:
