Can you explain what reads led your play in the first two hands? The last two hands I think most people will play the same way without any reads.

[Pingviini]

#1 he had just lost his stack less than orbit ago, if he had a strong hand he would've either slowplayed or CR'ed. not bet strong.

#2 he liked to slowplay his monsters too. especially given the stack sizes and the speed he was making his bets I was pretty sure he was bluffing. This is something somebody on FTR would call "a sick read".
