Hand of the Day #22

$1/$3 NLHE - Hollywood Casino - 1/3/10

A few limpers. I'm the BB with 33, and check. Four player see the Flop of Jc 6h 3d. Cool! Being first to act, I check, and so does everyone else.

Turn: [Jc 6h 3d] Ad - I'm assuming that A hit someone, so I bet $7, which about half the pot. All three players call.

River: [Jc 6h 3d Ad] Td - Well, that card sucks. Diamond draw got there, as well as KQ and TT. Since there are still four players in this pot, I decide to go into Check/Call mode. The next player bets $25. The other two fold. I grab 5 Red Chips, start shuffling them, and go into deep thought.

This guy is what I would call a Super Nit. He has a big stack ($500+), but it's on lockdown. He plays very few hands. He doesn't bet much, and almost never raises.

So what hand is he betting $25 on the River? The only hand that I can beat with Bottom Set is Two Pair. He probably would have bet AJ on the Flop, or min-raised the Turn. AT is the other possibility, but I just can't see him betting $25 with Two Pair on that board. Super Nits love to get to showdown. They might call with Two Pair on a Flush board, but they wouldn't lead out.

I ended up doing the only option that I had. I turned my hand over, and folded face up. Why show my hand? Because Super Nits love to show their big hands. And he did the same. Jd Js for a Flopped Set.

Set over Set on the Flop, and I only lose $7. I think we can call that a win.
