I don't know, maybe I am completely off, but I am just curious about one thing here...You raised the $5 straddle bet to $25, and the villain was one of the callers of this bet...he didn't re-raise...just called, right? You also said the villain had earned your respect as a tight player, so I think you really have to ask yourself, can you really put him on QT here after he called a decent raise pre-flop? I've heard Phil Gordon among others say never to fold on the river if there are a good number of hands you can legitimately beat, and I think I'd have to side with his opinion on this one. I couldn't really put villain on QT here...trip 10s, sure, but not the river full house...the board is not paired except for the 10s, so the only other hand I'd be concerned about would be QQ in his hand if he is indeed as tight as you've forseen him to be, but then without a re-raise preflop, I'd question that. Pocket 10s also possible, but not as likely. I don't know, I think I'd have to see it. It's hard to say not having played against this fellow personally.  |
