So the flop comes out 568r, he checks, I bet 25, he calls. the turn is a J, he checks, I bet 65, and he calls again. At this point he's got about $250 behind, and I've got about $400. The river is a blank (2 or 3 I think), and he checks again.
I just moved in.
He's sitting there, thinking about it. He gives me this look like "Ok, you can have this one." So he's about to muck his hand and I just smile at him.
He holds back the fold and asks, "What have you got?"
"You covered."
"Alright, I call."
He shows Q6. tyvm sir, good hand.
