Assume a good player is first to act heads up. Flop . He bets half the pot hero calls. Turn :Ks:. He bets pot, hero calls. River . He bets. Hero reraises.

How likely is it that the player will believe that our hero has the hand that hes repping (A5 or 56)? Will a good player be like "screw this I'm not getting trapped" or will he not be able to let go of the hand? Could this be profitable?
The good player is going to dump his hand, without question. If he doesn't, he's not a good player!
You couldn't me more wrong. He could be a good player with pocket Kings. He could be a good player with A5, 56 and not be in the slow-playing mood. Slow playing isn't so profitable as people think in the first place, therefore he could easily be a good player betting a great hand.
