$1/$2 NLHE - Greektown Casino - 07.10.10
Game is currently eight handed. I limp in Mid position with 86o. Six players see the Flop of Ac 9d 7d. The player before me bets $10. He a Kid who's here playing with his buddy. He's also a total No0b. He's extremely tentative in his actions, fumbles his chips, and not sure when it's his turn. I call with the Open-Ender. The Button also calls.
Turn [Ac 9d 7d] Ts. No0b bets $10 again. Since I have the Nuts, I make a small raise to $25. I don't want to scare off the No0b, but I want the Button to fold, just in case he's on a Draw. The Button does fold, and the No0b called.
River [Ac 9d 7d Ts] Qc. No0b turns over his hand, Jc Js, like we're at Showdown. The players and the Dealer get that "WTF?" look on their faces. The Dealer tells the No0b that it's his action. The No0b says he's sorry, turns his hand back over, and checks.
I'm just sitting there shuffling 6 Red chips, and I place them over the Line for a $30 bet. Why bet when he's only got JJ? Because I was already planning to bet $30 on the River, and I knew he would call. And he did, rather quickly. I show my Straight, and scoop the pot. The Button said he folded an A.
Was is wrong to bet after he showed his hand? Hell, No! Taking advantage of the Weak is what Poker is all about.
