As I'm sure you know, not every player enters a hand or plays through a hand with a clear frame of mind or plan in place. Its very possible that this guy was just plain batty.<br /><br />2. He saw you as a conservative player, which would make sense given your appearance. He probably thought he wanted to make some money off of his great hand and did not want to bet you out of the pot on the flop or turn. By the river, he has to do something or else he runs the risk of having you check behind, in which case he gets no more money AND he has to show the table he is slowplaying. So, he bets out. When you raise such a relatively small amount, he either couldn't reassess the situation, or he figured your small-ish bet was a weak hand, and that his trapping paid off.Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12831176156389777158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36880087.post-38833643932921727882011-06-13T14:35:50.399-04:002011-06-13T14:35:50.399-04:00he never cared or thought about what you had. he ...he never cared or thought about what you had. he flopped trips. he slow played it to the river. and on the river, he "sprung his trap". he never considered that your hand improved. he only knew he had trips. he only called because he subconsciously thought there was a chance he was beaten but he wasn't really sure with what.<br /><br />he played his hand and his hand only.Michaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01777914441802895447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36880087.post-91048918256631770512011-06-13T05:56:53.404-04:002011-06-13T05:56:53.404-04:00He Phil hullmuthed it, probs a total noobiHe Phil hullmuthed it, probs a total noobiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36880087.post-6137276029129319102011-06-13T05:33:23.456-04:002011-06-13T05:33:23.456-04:00The look of relief at your straight says it all. ...The look of relief at your straight says it all.

He thought he was trapping you on the flop and turn, and value betting the river. He clearly misread the board as he failed to take into account the four-card straight on board.<br /><br />In short, he was a weak-tight player who was also drunk or stupid. You should thank your deity of choice you live in Vegas where his kind still roam free.Grange95https://www.blogger.com/profile/01857460215043659894noreply@blogger.com
