Juanda Doesn't Trust Instinct

Level 11 : Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
John Juanda
John Juanda

John Juanda was between Eric Afriat and another player in a three-way pot on a board of {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{6-Hearts}.

All three players checked on the flop and Afriat led out for 7,000 on the {10-Spades} turn. Only Juanda called. The {9-Spades} river completed the board and Afriat bet 10,000. Juanda shuffled chips in his hand and thought through a call.

"I don't feel it! I can't help myself though," Juanda said before calling.

Afriat tabled {j-Spades}{j-Hearts} for a pair of jacks and it was good as the Indonesian poker legend mucked.

"Go with your instinct!" Afriat told Juanda. "Don't go for it if you don't feel it."
