There's Reading Your Opponent, Then There's Acting Upon It

Jeremy Joseph did well during the first three levels of play today, building his stack up close to the 70,000 mark.

Recently he was in a hand where he raised to 1,200 preflop, and was reraised by an opponent to 3,000. He kicked it up to 9,900 total, only to have his opponent push all in for approximately 22,000 altogether.

"I've been telling myself you've been playing so tight," said Joseph in response to that fourth bet. "But this hand is too big to fold." He called.

Joseph had pocket kings, and sure enough, his opponent had the aces.

The board ran out {10-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}, and Joseph is back down to 47,000.
