The Sporadic Play of Ryan Young

Wandering past Ryan Young's table, we've noticed he seems to be doing a lot of different things. The first thing we noticed was Young raising to 1,400 preflop. Everyone folded and he won the pot, but an opening raise of greater than nine times the big blind certainly was something out of the ordinary.

On the next hand, Young limped and saw the flop come down {10-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} with six other players in the hand. Young fired 1,300 on the flop to win the pot. The pot was 1,050 when he bet 1,300.

On the hand after that, Young made it 400 before an opponent three-bet to 1,100. Vivek Rajkumar got involved with a call on the button and then Young called. The flop came down {5-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{2-Spades} and action checked to Rajkumar. He fired 1,800 and Young folded. The other player made the call.

The turn brought the {6-Hearts} and both players checked to see the {10-Diamonds} land on the river. The first player checked, but Rajkumar didn't bite. He checked behind and then mucked when his opponent tabled the {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}.

The hand after that one, Young limped in from under the gun. Matt Waxman raised to 550 in the hijack seat and Rajkumar called in the cutoff seat. Young called as well.

The flop came down {A-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Young checked. Waxman fired 800 and Rajkumar folded. Young made the call.

The turn was the {2-Spades} and both players checked. The river completed the board with the {A-Spades}, pairing it with bullets. Young fired a big bet of 4,000 and Waxman tanked. Young called the clock on Waxman after a little while, to which Waxman mucked his hand to give Young the pot.
