The Game's Afoot

The beauty of watching and playing no-limit hold'em is witnessing the little psychological mind games that players engage in. Some of those Jedi mind tricks are already in play at Eric Assadourian's table. He reraised to 6,000 after David Steicke had opened the pot for 2,400. Steicke called.

When the flop came out {Q-Spades} {9-Clubs} {5-Spades}, Steicke led into Assadourian for 2,400. Assadourian immediately announced a raise to 15,000.

"Fifty?" asked a surprised Steicke.

"No, fifteen," replied Assadourian. "I don't want to scare you with fifty."

"Fifteen scares me," said Steicke as he mucked his cards.

Assadourian turned over {7-Spades} {10-Clubs} for a stone bluff. "We've started the game already."
