I check again. And now Villain down-bets to $45.
RESULT:
Okay, so here’s what happened: In my mind I was absolutely expecting him to bet $100 on some stupid bluff and I’m gonna snap-call it like Phil Hellmuth. So the second I saw him reach for chips I’m just licking my lips knowing I’m about to be $100 richer. I just had one thought in my head “SNAP CALL!”
If I had taken even 2 seconds to think about it I 100% would have raised. He’s never betting that small with a hand that beats JJ, never! And I don’t think it’s a bluff very often (a bluff would be for $100), I think it’s just a weak value hand trying to get me to make a crying call with ace-high.
So I stupidly JUST called it. Villain flips over 99, My Hand Is Good, but I once again leave $100 on the table.
