BTW, nice meeting you this past weekend. I get the impression you don't play live that much, since you looked really nervous during the time we played together at the tournament. Did you find yourself settling in more as the weekend progressed?

I don't play live very much. Also, I've also got kind of a klutzy/jittery demeanor in general so I can sometimes come across as nervous even when I'm not.

That said, I wasn't really in a very good mindset for the tournament. I hadn't gotten much sleep but still got to the Rio much earlier than I needed to, which had the effect of riling up my nerves rather than calming them, especially after a Starbucks and two Red Bulls. And the presence of all the pros at the table didn't help either; it was the first time in a long while that I remember playing at a table where I wasn't sure that I had a skill edge.

Nate, what do you look like? At one of the tables a guy sat down next to me and for some reason I wondered if it was you.

About 5'9", skinny, dark brown hair. I was wearing these faggy Diesel jeans the whole weekend because I was too lazy to change pants and pull all of the money out of the pockets. [img]/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Well, you're representing an overpair or a queen. It's entirely read based if you think he'll lay down a pair. I don't know why this is an interesting hand.

I think I saw you then, but you are not the guy I originally thought you were.

I don't like this one, the board doesn't have enough draws and this guy isn't folding a pair.

I don't understand the river bet at all here. It looks like your hand is too good to bluff with and too weak to value bet.

The only bit of sense I can begin to make of it is if you are putting him on a missed gutshot -- he now has A3o or A4o and will call you down. While this could be correct, it feels like an awfully specific read to make based on the action and his actions.

Or are you thinking you might move him off a pair? I don't know what kind of "goofy" player you think he is. Most sensible people, having come this far with a pair, are not folding now.

While I totally understand what Paulka means here, taken in the silo that is this hand this very common statement is a bit funny. Since our "goofy losing player" calls and takes down the pot, inferring that our "good winning player" folds a reasonably large pot away.
