Table of Contents Five-card stud. Table stakes. Last betting interval. Player A has Q, J, 10, K showing, plus hole card. Player B has 6, 10, 8, 4 showing, plus hole card. Player A has taken the lead throughout; Player B has played along, outlasting other players. Player B has a six in the whole, giving him a pair of sixes. On the last card, Player A bets out, perhaps half his stack. Player B knows that there are six cards that would give Player A a cinch hand: A, K, Q, J, 10, or 9. But Player B taps. Player A calls and loses. His hole card is a seven. There was nothing unusual in the fact that Player B figured the bluff of Player A. Every sucker in the land does that several times per session. The significance of this case is in the fact that Player B tapped and that Player A called. |
