Mike Caro makes me some money
So back at the casino, playing 1-1 NL 100 max buyin
The table is breaking up a bit, so this hand is short-handed.
So far I have a rock solid image, so I've switched gears and I started open raising a relatively wide range.
It'd folded to me in MP, I open the pot with T8s.
BU is a young guy who is loose preflop and is putting the live straddle on whenever he's UTG. Loves to try steal pots when the opponent has shown weakness. Underbets pots when he has a hand. He calls my preflop raise, flop is heads up.
The board comes paired, 669 two tone, or something like that. I bet like I would with TT or something, and he calls. Turn double pairs the board, 6699. I check, he checks behind.
River comes a harmless card. I'm pretty ready to give up on this hand, thinking he might be calling here with an A. But as the river card is dealt, he starts reaching for chips, out of turn. Tell #1: the player reaching for chips out of turn is weak, acting strong. He's also staring at me. Tell #2, the guy with the big hand is staring away from you, not at you. The one who is staring at you is usually weak.
So I fire a bet here, to his surprise and disgust. He looks obviously uncomfortable, and hesitates for a few seconds before throwing his hand away.
Thanks Mr Caro!
