And Steve Thinks He's a Calling Station

[MLG]

Beginning of the 2nd level of the Foxwoods WPT event. We started with 20k in chips. I have 12k thanks to running the second nuts into the nuts twice. The first hand with blinds at 50/100 I raise in MP to 250 with AQo. Only Vinny Napolitano in the BB calls. Flop is KT4 with two clubs and he check calls 400. Turn is the 8 of hearts and we check it through. River is a complete brick and he thinks and bets 750. I call.

Now THATS a calling station.




edit: I forgot to put the hand in

MLG,

If you are reasonably sure this guy wouldn't either c-raise or bet the turn with a king (like KQ, KJ) then cool call the river.

I mean if you aren't calling the river you should be betting the turn against a lot of people (know what I mean?)

Did he show QJ or the flush draw? If you were right then this call is more pimp than gator boots.

[MLG]

Apathy,
My thought at the time was, he would be unlikely to play a K super slow on that board. As with many tourney pros he didnt seem overly concerned with pot control with marginal made hands, and very concerened with "protecting his hand."

If that's the case, I'd be more inclined to raise, than to call. I don't think you're beating much, but you might be able to fold out alot of hands.

The question is was your hand g00t?

nut no pair with obvious straight and flush draws on the flop? I've seen worse calls.
