Default Hand reading Quiz

This is a hand I played last week at Mirage in a very good 20-40 game.

It's folded to the c/o who is an extemely aggressive young lad who thinks he is a 40-80 player. [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] The day prior, he lost 1K instantly in my game as he bemoaned the fact that the game was "boring". His "boredom" in the game led him to raise and call raises with any two, more or less.

Anyway, he raises in the c/o and I call in the bb with Q,8 spades.

Flop is J [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 8 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 2 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] I check raised and he 3 bet me. Turn is 4 [img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] I bet and he called. River is 10 [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]

I check. He checks.

Anyone want to venture a guess as to what he had?

He made the Nutz on the river with Q 9. Checked it to The Babe because......you are A BABE. This action did not impress you. He didn't play well enought to get your attention. He is now kicking himself with the thought you would have paid him off on the river. He needed the money for a long cab ride.

The young wanna be 40-80 player had A, 10 offsuit for a rivered pair. I honestly had no idea what he had until he turned his cards over, [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img] but I did appreciate the free showdown. Hope he continues to find the 20-40 "boring" [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img].

LGPG,

I've seen this a lot, not with a hand this good, but with something that no longer can only win if you fold. Basically the T game him showdown value so instead of "bluffing" the river, he figures he has a shot now and is thinking the always evil, "A worse hand can't call." of course he's wrong, but this comes up a lot.

I don't know. I think he's got a pretty easy bet on the river after the babe checks. But that's what YOU'RE saying, right?

As I read your post, I put him somewhere around AT with maybe a backdoor flush or str8 draw at worst. I see your frustration but the thing is, I'm not sure he played it as bad as you think. Especially if he's aware that you view him as an overagressive fool who open raised from the cutoff.
