1/2 cash, 9-handed, casino, no history except for last 90 minutes
V is on a downswing (120), Hero is running table over for last 90 minutes since table change (1000)
Hero raises to $12 OTB w AK
, 2 callers including V UTG (had limped)
Flop is J
6
8
... check, check, Hero bets $18, v calls
Turn is 8
... check, check
River is J
V very slowly shoves one very tall stack in for $90 .. his chips are all mixed together with no way of knowing the total.
V looks sad, but has been sad pretty much the whole time at the table.
Hero starts to talk about a chop ... "A call to chop $70?"
V immediately starts to sort his chips ...
Hero tells V to stop sorting ... "I can see them"
V continues to sort chips until a $90 total is established.
Hero ponders V actions as really only 1 of 3 things ... pretty much ruling out Jx due to lack of betting on Turn.
1) V has Ax and is chopping
2) V has 8x and didn't get to c/r Turn
3) V has air
