True winners in Showdown rarely avoid using sneaky tactics. After all, relying solely on luck doesn't make for consistent victories. Sneaky tactics involve intricate skills, with different strategies for different hands. Let me introduce a few commonly used ones.

1. **Big Pair Sneakiness at Deal**
   When dealt a pair of Aces at the start, refrain from raising. If you raise, most opponents will fold, not wanting to compete against a potential pair of Aces. If someone else raises, go along with the bet but avoid making it big. Towards the end, let your opponent make the final bet. When their hand is judged to be inferior, go all-in. Your opponent might mistake it for a bluff, possibly prompting them to call.

2. **Three of a Kind with Early Big Bets**
   If you have three of a kind, make a substantial bet. The likelihood of opponents calling is only 10%. If you take a timid approach, betting a tenth of what you should, the chance of opponents calling increases to 90%. The fourth card is crucial. If your opponent raises significantly, raise even higher. This strategy results in an 80% chance of winning.

3. **Straight Sneakiness**
   Often, when opponents see a potential straight in your hand, they're likely to fold when you go all-in, with a 90% chance of them folding. In this situation, it's beneficial to let your opponent place a bet first, adopting a probing action of, for instance, 10,000 or 20,000. Make your opponent believe you're scared, reducing the likelihood of having a straight. They might decide to go all-in, with a 40% chance, which is better than them folding.

4. **Scattered Card Deception**
   This method is similar to bluffing. On the third or fourth card, if you have an Ace or King and your hand is better than your opponent's visible cards, go all-in. This misleads your opponent into thinking you have a pair. The chance of your opponent folding is 80%. If they call, it suggests they might have a small pair. In this case, go all-in. If your opponent reveals their cards, you've failed. Your score must be higher than your opponent's for this tactic to work, making it somewhat risky. If you lose this round, there's still a chance to continue competing. The success rate of winning against an opponent with cards is 15%, while the chance of them folding results in an 85% success rate.

There are numerous sneaky tactics, such as Full House, Four of a Kind, Flush, and many others. However, these are less common. The methods outlined above provide a general overview of most situations. Of course, there will be scenarios like having a pair of Aces against someone with two pairs, or holding three of a kind against an opponent with a straight. Adjust your strategy based on the specific circumstances at hand.
