So what is he thinking? (a JJ hand)

The fish with 55, can you get inside of his head? Why would he stay to the bitter end?

Because he, like most players, is not very good at poker?

Ya, we all know that. But what is he thinking as the hand develops? "My 5's might be good in case he's bluffing." Or, "The 3rd five might show up and I'll win."

Preflop: I have 55, maybe I'll flop a set.

Flop: Noone's raised it, I guess .50 is OK to see if I can still pull a 5 and beat.... 92o? (this is where my comprehension of his thinking process breaks down).

Turn: Noone's raised it, I guess 1.00.... blah blah

River: I read that one sentence somewhere that says don't fold in a big pot. OK call!

Maybe someone switched his fold and call buttons.

He thought you were bluffing.

Answered! I win!

Honestly, it's hard to say.. maybe he's just hoping to catch a set there and when the river came he figured he was in it this far, might as well see it for another $1.

Probably because once he folded a pair of 5's, and the turn and the river were both 5's and he swore 'I'm never folding 5's again'.

KO
