The ole' 4-bet, fold to a 5-bet

[elindauer]

Given your read, it seems impossible that you could win. He doesn't sound like the type to give this much action with just 2s full, since you could easily have aces, kings, or jacks to beat him. What's he 5-betting the river with? The nuts. Maybe there's an outside chance that he got tricky with aces.

Of course, I am giving full weight to your read of his style being dead on. If you have any doubt about your read, then call.

good luck.

"Maybe there's an outside chance that he got tricky with aces."

you guys are all ignoring the almost more probable chance the guy has 22.

Mike, I hope by "you guys" you aren't including me, despite your replying to me, and quoting me, because right before the line you quote, I say

I know this is tricky because I don't say 22 explicitly, but I'd expect a great poker mind like yours to be able to decipher this complicated sentence. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
