I hardly ever do this. Sometimes it just does feel right. His betting pattern was a bit weird.

*Pingviini entering the zone*

Saalis is at seat 1 with 320.35
Morpheus13 is at seat 2 with 64.14
pj1819 is at seat 3 with 89.00
T.Montana is at seat 5 with 35.90

T.Montana posts the large blind 2.00
Morpheus13 posts the small blind 1.00

Morpheus13: --, --
T.Montana: --, --
Saalis: :Ah:

Pre-flop:

Saalis: Raise 6.00
Morpheus13: Call 6.00
T.Montana: Fold

Flop (Board: :Qs:, ):

Morpheus13: Check
Saalis: Check

Turn (Board: :Qs:

Morpheus13: Bet 2.00
Saalis: Call 2.00

River (Board: :Qs: ):

Morpheus13: Bet 10.00
Saalis: Call 10.00

Showdown:

Morpheus13 shows: 8d, 7s (a pair of Tens)
Saalis shows: Ah, 2d (a pair of Tens)

Mainpot:
Saalis wins the pot of 36.10 with a pair of Tens, Ace kicker.

(1.90 rake were taken for this hand)

Ni Han. If the river call isn't +EV on it's own, it's a great protection play from an active player. I see no compelling reason to think he either has a pair or hit that board.

I like it. Picking one of these off occasionally is the best feeling ever, as far as I'm concerned. I hardly ever do this calldown routine but it seems like I have good instincts for it - I feel like I take the pot better than half the time when I make that river call.
