Default Re: Four-handed vs. a Grandmaster

My guess would be Walter Browne. Can't imagine it being any of the russians (other than maybe Shabalov), Benjamin seemed too respectable to be a poker bum last time I met him, Wolff or Defirmian maybe but I had the impression they both worked for financial firms.

As for the hand? Uhhh....I'm not sure what worse hand could possibly call. The value comes if he has a bigger pocket pair with no heart, because I think he'll call with any ace and any heart. Given that he didn't 4 bet preflop, a hand like A9 seems to make more sense than anything else I can think of.

I suspect that's actually the key; most of the hands you want him to have at this point (ie better hands that you may be able to make him fold) he is unlikely to have given his non 4 bet preflop. So I guess its a bad bet, unless he'll fold an ace here, which I don't think he will.
