There was a raise in front of him with the former and he was first in with the latter. |

I think to be overworried by the paired fives is probably not such a great idea - Melinn is very agressive which could mean that a)his flop bet was an autobet and b) he might even think Ace high is OK
I don't reckon he was folding because the five was such a scare card (trip queens is beating him just as much as any kind of house) but maybe three confident bets finally convinced him that he HAD been behind all along ("....if he was ahead, he's still ahead and if he was behind, he's still behind..." etc as you said)
He can't possibly put him on a five, unless he's psychic os course, and even then, he'd still be wrong. It's not so much that Smyth would conciously have put Melinn on a 5, but that, facing the river bet, if Smyth had any loss of confidence in his hand, he'd be looking for an extra reason to fold. The 5 falling allows Smyth to convince himself he was a) correct not to believe Melinn had a Q and b) also correct to fold. Of course, he could have just bottled it. The paired queens on the board is a straightforward caution. The paired fives at least doubles it. I guess he only stayed in the hand to see if his 99 would improve. They didn-t so the 100k bet on the river says fold. |

sometimes it's better to push blind than as good as call all-in with a QJ or such....gettin the chips in first can be crucial

The only arguement I can see is that if he is called when holding QT or QJ is that it's very possible that he'll be dominated. Whereas if he's holding two raggy cards at least they'll be live. (Doesn't work if someone calls with a medium pair though...  ) |
