Sorry for the recent lack of posts, I’ve had a lot to catch up on since returning from vacation. But here’s an interesting hand:
Full Tilt No-Limit Hold’em, $10.00 BB (2 handed) – Full-Tilt Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com
Button ($2002.50)

(2 players)
Hero checks, Button bets $275, Hero calls $275

Results:
Button had Q, 10 (two pair, sevens and fives).

This player was really not very aggressive at all. It just goes to show you how unconventional play, like the tiny turn bet, can take people out of their comfort zones and induce mistakes they wouldn’t otherwise make.
Is a reraise on the river out of the question or does this hand have too much show down value for the reraise?
Showdown value and also it doesn’t represent much. I don’t see him folding a better hand to a river raise.
