Blind vs blind hand
 

Another hand from the 540 MTT metioned here

Blinds are still 50-100. Stacks are about 3500 for hero and about the same for the villian in the BB.

Is this guy a brilliant player who can read me like a book, or is he pinocchio at paradise island?

Re: Blind vs blind hand
 

i think you are allowed to check the turn here, since he either has kq or a hand that beats you. turns out he just likes to put you on tilt. this isn't a hand you 'can't get away from.' sometimes position is a good asset.

You could have checked the turn, but I find there are some players who always seem to call what they think is a countinuation bet on the flop with the hope of taking it off you so betting out again isn't too bad I suppose.
If he wants to play that way with just a pair of twos then he will loose lots of money unless he has a good reason to do it in that hand.
