I still can\'t figure this one out...
 

From a B&M game last night:

4-handed, unraised pot. Flop: K [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 5 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] 8 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

SB checks, BB checks, UTG + 1 checks, Button checks, SB bets, dealer informs SB that she can't bet.

Turn: A [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]

SB folds.

Wow.

What's to figure out? SB is an idiot.

What exactly is your question? Also give more details; was she a solid an experienced player? Had she played for a long period of time? if so, then she was probably too tired or too drunk.
If not, then she is learning (she was probably nervous)!! give new players a break. "The mistakes of your opponents mean money for you" [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Even if we assume that the lady is a complete neophyte to the game, what would lead someone to decide to bet, then suddenly change her mind and open-fold?

BTW, this was an off-duty poker dealer. Really.

ignorance.

don't read into it. She was bad and just made a mistake. There's no psychological trick going on, and if there is it went WAY over my head.

Simple, SB decided to take a stab at the pot but changed her mind after seeing the turn and feeling like an idiot.
