Guy on the button........waits.....waits......and times out and stands pat (I believe on Pokerstars you automatically stand pat if you time out). I bet out, assuming he mis-patted his hand, and suddenly he comes to life and raises me. I called to the end and he showed #1.
Am I an idiot for falling for this?
old trick, When he raises after the time-out pat but then raises you're c-bet and now patting the next street alarm bells should go off that he on a pat 7, just take a note and if you see his range for that timeout pat back raise is pretty much the nuts you'll know what to do, however if he is savvy he might turn such a play into a bluff, watch and see how he plays over a given sample size and you'll have a better idea how to deal with him.
