The double pump.
7.50-15.00 home game. Thought I’d write up this hand, since a fellow two + two’er said he would have given up on the flop. Anyhow, I was in late position with pocket 7’s. There were two limpers to me, I limp, and a blind comes along.
Flop is Q62 rainbow. First to act grabs three chips, makes a forward motion, pulls his hand back like he is going to check, and then changes his mind and bets. All this happened in the course of 2 seconds. One person folds, I raise, the blind folds, and the opener calls. Turn is a 4. Checked to me, I bet, he calls. River is a 10. Checked to me, and I check behind. Comments on all streets appreciated. -Huh

Re: The double pump.
hi huh
it sounds like a fake hitch. your suppose to look for almost imperceptible little hitches as your opponent bets. sometimes an opponent will attempt to fake a hitch when he has a strong hand to fake you out into thinking that he's weak. these fake hitches are always over-done by the actor, and you must rate your opponent as having a fairly strong hand.

Re: The double pump.
At our home games, a move to your stack followed by clearly moving chips forward is a bet.

Re: No fake hitch.
Well, if he isn't acting then he probably has a Q with a mediocre kicker and hesitated because he remembered your pre-flop raise.
I assume you play with this guy a lot in the home game, so you should have a good idea of what kinds of hands he will bet in this situation. I would just make a read and go with it.

Results.
You must have been at the game. Who is this?
Anyhow, my sevens were good. Opponent had K6. Fellow two-plus-twoer muttered, "Interesting way to play it...I would've just given im' credit for a Queen and mucked"...Which made me think. -Huh
