One other thing. This might sound ridiculous but I think it's true: when a guy makes the nuts on the river, that is, if he had Q-T, he will generally bet out. You would think he would bet because he's trying to win 3 bets on the river, but that's not it. It's that he sees his hand as "obvious" when he makes K-Q-J-T-9 and therefore he feels he should bet. Whereas if he makes 9-7, he's more likely to check-raise because it's less obvious that the 9 helped him; in his mind, it's more of a "surprise" hand worthy of a check-raise.

andy,

any chance we can get you to put together a 2p2 internet mag article about all these weird truths about the way fishy midstakes B&M players think?
For example, your comment in that one PJ hand about how 3 betting the flop will make it less likely that the players in between will stay with their gutshots on 4th was really bizarre and counterintuitive.
