He thinks for a few moments, then says: "Very good thinking, trying to get me off my underpair. But you see, you bet without even looking at the river card. That King scares the hands that have a Q, so you would have to have thought for a second before betting it. Also, if you DID hit the king, you still have to LOOK at the river... You just bet without really looking at the river. I call" Pocket 9s, nice hand.

bella, you may never be in this situation with this guy again, but if you are, after his little speech, gently smile, look at the dealer and calmly say "I raise" and put your chips in the pot and read the "semi pro". If he is as good as he thinks he is, he will make the "lay down of the year", you will show your bluff and be in his head forever. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Benny, even if it's not possible in this situation, I've done that. He can make laydowns and he knows I can bluff. I have shown him my bluffs before. He does not tilt, only once in 3 years have I seen him tilt, he's too smart to do that. After a bluff-raise of stuff like that, when I show him, he actually smiles and all. Really, no tilting.
I love playing WITH him, because fishies do tilt against him, try to take shots against him. They become loose calling stations. "Hey he raised me with 5 high" (duh, he only showed you that weird hand). LOL, the one hand they showed from him on ESPN's main event coverage he limped with 79o and everybody at my local club remembers that hand (sigh, people always just remember pre-flop, but forget about post-flop), but not that he actually got to the Top 100 in the event and beyond. Perfect LAG player. I dread the HU pots, but hey, whatcha gonna do. Actually, the HU pots are really a challenge and I don't think I'm necessarily bad at them, if it weren't for my tells. We had a guy losing about 800$ on this table, which was the reason of my comeback (which fizzled in the end, but that's ok).
