Jaffee Just Can't Call

Jared Jaffee opened to an unknown amount from under the gun. Action trickled all of the way around the table to the small blind, who made it 1,625 to go. The big blind cold-called only to have Jaffee four-bet to 4,200. The small blind tank-folded, but the big blind called once more.

"I check," she said before the flop was dealt.

The dealer spread the , and action was on Jaffee after the check in the dark. He continued for 3,750, and once again his opponent stuck around. The turned, and she checked once more to Jaffee, who slowly counted out 5,800.

"Alright, I'm all in," Jaffee's opponent instantly said, snap-moving all of her chips to the middle of the table.

Jaffee mulled over the decision for a bit, deciding whether or not it was worth risking 9,150 more. Eventually, he relented and released his hand. His opponent was visibly upset that Jaffee did not call, and he told her that he held pocket jacks.

With this loss, Jaffee is sitting on about 44,000.
