Bluffing a calling station...

[dontezuma]

OK, OK, I don't usually post brags on good reads, but this guy was running 68/0 (yes, zero) over 38 hands in this $16 one-table. Open limped pretty much every hand and would only fold if there was a raise in front. I guess he open folded a few, but not many.

Anyway, this hand comes up and he open limps UTG, which usually would make me a little nervous, but against this guy, it's literally ATC. So, with a paired flop, I fire and am not surprised to get a call, so I decide that if the turn's bricky, I'm committing to the hand. He folded finally to the third-barrel shove. See below. Woo hoo! I love making a good read... it so seldom happens. Lol.

LOL. Sorry. It's late. I had seen this guy call two streets with nothing and lay down only to big bets. He had to be smacked in the face to fold. So, with total air, I put him on total air, maybe ace high at best and he finally lays it down to the river shove. It's, well, never mind.
