a stone-cold bluff

[Gravy (Gravy Smoothie)]

CO's been at the table about 10 hands, hasn't gotten out of line. This is the first hand I've seen him raise preflop. I would have check/folded the flop if Button had called CO's flop bet.

Good play /images/graemlins/ooo.gif.
Personally, I probably would've given up on the river, but I guess it's a good thing you didn't /images/graemlins/grin.gif.

I think you played this good. Until proven otherwise, I usually assume a pause from an unknown means weakness. At 5-10 I sometimes fire the third bullet on the river, not sure how often you could do that at 1-2 tough, since I've heard they like to call much /images/graemlins/smile.gif
