Perhaps, I should shove, hoping to get a ten or a bad ace to fold, but instead I checked my unimproved pair of eights. On the river the three paired, so the board was now A-10-3-9-3. I fired again for slightly less than pot. He gave this some thought, said “one-time,” and then called. The flop was A-10-3 rainbow, and since the Ace is good for my range, I made a continuation bet of around half pot. I was called by the button, who appeared to be a somewhat loose, amateur player. In the evening of day 1, I raised in middle position with pocket eights. I’ll quote from Steve’s piece and intersperse that with my thoughts. (Also, Zolotow’s piece is worth a read for some good explanations of why tells can be so valuable in general: basically, that many poker decisions are close, and therefore even if behavior information is only slightly reliable, this can be very valuable in the long run.) I wanted to write a few comments about the behavior-related stuff he wrote about. Zolotow wrote this piece for Cardplayer Magazine about his favorite hand. You may know poker player Stephen Zolotow: he has appeared on quite a few televised poker shows.
