I've been talking about this hand for 2 days now (LC)

[adanthar]

and I still can't get over it.

Venetian Deep Stack 1K, 100/200 blinds. Both people involved are fairly deep although I don't remember the exact amount. The second guy recently made a big call of an AI CR with 76 on a 975 board (it was good.)

Anyway, UTG+1 sorta generic TAG opens to 600. The button calls, and it's either HU or 3 way to the flop. Probably HU.

Flop A [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] A [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]. The TAG leads out the standard 2/3-ish pot (800?). The button makes it something like 2200. The TAG tanks for a full minute, stares the button down, and makes a smallish 3 bet to somewhere around 5K, probably around 40% of his stack.

Button now stares the TAG down and tanks himself, then, after about a minute, makes a virtually minimum 4 bet putting around 2/3 of his stack in.

The TAG blinks first and folds <font color="white"> QQ </font> face up.

Button turns over... <font color="white">63 of diamonds. </font>

Something about the Yeti theorem goes here?

Sounds like the players have history together.

ya, talking about it for 2 days? I would've laughed about it for a couple minutes then forgot about it.

One thing that I find interesting about stuff like this is how it should change your read. Obviously you have to realize that this guy's capable of pulling this stuff, and since presumably you haven't played that many hands with him and you've already seen him do this, it's safe to assume he does it often enough for it to be significant.

So, obviously if you come back and play an event with him like the next day or something it should factor pretty heavily into your read. But, what about 5 hands from now if he takes a similar line?

Not sure if the question is rhetorical... but:

Showing the bluff is now his vig for the next hour or so. If he hits a monster he'll get paid off.

Unless I'm playing someone drunk I always give the person credit for the next couple hours here. The next day I'm calling this guy wide.

I tend to check, bet small, and not raise on flops like this, regardless of whether I have trips. I would look to get value or bluff on later streets, or call down with a big pair or weak ace.
