With that in mind, I give you story #2... the bluffer who can't lie very well...

- Jim is the BB in a 4 way hand where he checked his option.
- The flop came 9c 6c Jd.
- Jim check / calls a small bet. No one folds.
- The turn comes 5h.
- Jim check / calls a small bet. No one folds.
- The river comes 3s.
- Jim is first to act and bets out 3x the pot.

This should be so obvious that it's laughable. Jim's on a busted draw, 33 or on drugs... and from his river bet the latter is more possible than you might think.

I don't know, there are some possibilities that don't seem logical, but when the hand gets shown they make sense. Let's say Jim had 4c7c or 4c2c in the BB. He didn't bet out, because his flush draw was pretty weak, yet it's enough to call a small bet twice. Well, the flush draw turned into a straight, board looks pretty uncoordinated, Jim just wants to take the pot down. Since the bet looks so fishy, he might even get a caller on this runner runner straight.

I'm not saying you should immediatly think this unlikely scenario, but jus bear in mind that poker is not crystal clear.
