Tunica- Passive Party
TUNICA, Miss. -- It's four handed at the Gold Strike $1/2NL after dinner. This old guy in a red, satiny Grand Casino jacket sits down.
When he gets to the button, he makes it $8. I look down and see QQ.
I raise to $24. He calls.
Flop is Axx.
$35, I say, pushing chips into the pot.
He thinks for a while, and then mucks KK face up.
lol.
"Ace-King," I say. "I had to 3-bet it."
The place is soooo interesting. In tune with David Sklansky's advice about slowplaying AA and KK, I see it all the time. No one wants the gray-haired nits surrounding them to fold to their pre-flop raise.
So last night at the Horseshoe NL$1/3, there was weird action to my left and right. I was in the big blind. The guy utg limps. A few people call, including the small blind.
Flop is 78x. It gets bet, I fold. By the river there's another 7 and 8. The guy to my left pulls out a stack of red chips and is about to bet.
"Noooo, sir, I haven't acted yet," protests the kid in the small blind to my right.
The guy pulls his chips back. The kid checks.
Then the utg guy pushes his entire stack in. "I know you have the 8," he said.
The kid thinks about it and thinks. Then folds.
The utg guy shows limped KK. I'm pretty sure the kid folded sevens full.

Reading that hand with the weird action, I'm thinking it's more likely than not that UTG guy was not shooting an angle.
I dunno...of course the SB's "wait a minute" followed by a check is weak. I'd be impressed if UTG meant to induce that tell.
