Hand from Borgata WPT

[ski]

I bet out 1300. The BB throws in a 5k chip and a 1k chip. After 3 seconds, he says, "Call!". This seems important, why would he wait 3 sec to say call when that is pretty obvious what he is doing (if he put in 1.5K).

My guess is he put it in realized "oh [censored], I just put in 6K" and then said call. If it was planned I doubt the 3 sec delay would be there and this seems like an awfully elaborate angleshoot for a low stakes player with limited experience.

To me the reads you have on the Armanian guy are more or less unimportant to the actual hand.

The other angle I'd take on it is that the white dude is actually an excellent player and made you think he is a noob. I'd be pretty surprised if a person with a low bankroll got hugely lucky, won a satalite tourney, and now (in his mind) has the chance to be set for life and famous like Greg Raymer and then was drinking beer and talking about football.

either way I'd shove because I have a set and its live.
