What was Caro thinking?
I was watching Mike Caro play, out of sheer bordeom, when this hand came up:
D: Game [41578] started with 3 players.
D: Dealing Hole Cards.
D: DERJEV4 called $10
D: gma01 folded.
D: MikeCaro raised $10
D: DERJEV4 called $10
D: Dealing flop.
D: Board cards [5d 8c Kc]
D: MikeCaro checked.
D: DERJEV4 checked.
D: Dealing turn.
D: Board cards [5d 8c Kc 8d]
D: MikeCaro checked.
D: DERJEV4 checked.
D: Dealing river.
D: Board cards [5d 8c Kc 8d 4h]
D: MikeCaro checked.
D: DERJEV4 checked.
D: Showdown!
D: MikeCaro has Full House : Kings full of 8s
D: MikeCaro wins $44 with Full House : Kings full of 8s
MikeCaro: it stood up
D: Hand is over.
As you can see, he completely slowplayed the 2nd best possible hand. I could understand going for a trap on the flop and turn, but the river as well is a bit extreme. However, I'm in no way shape or form as knowledgeable as he is at the game, and so I am wondering if what he did was in fact the right thing to do.
Edit: The player Drej had gone to showdown for the majority of hands he was in. He is, in essence, a calling station.
