the real simon trumper

[Martin Aigner]

In case this question was meant to be serious. He made a value bet and thought that he would get away from it if raised back. Now the act of Simon made him call for whatever reason (Barry stated this in the ESPN article). Guess, if Simon acted like he did for 15 seconds, and not for 2 or whatever minutes, Barry wouldn´t have made the call. One might say, that Barry was outplayed (or outacted, which is part of the game)

The behaviour of Simon was definetly within the rules, and likely the only way to make Barry call. Now as I stated in another post, there is a huge difference between 2 and 10 minutes, but if it´s 2 minutes what it takes to make Barry to call, I´d do it every time.
