A strange way of making a profit - Thoughts?

TommyD

Hey guys

While playing the D/S last night I was playing a NLHE $1/$2 Cash game on another site (you see them in the sky at night, well, unless you live in London).

I was playing a villain who I've played a lot, loads in fact.  I know the guy inside out.  He's a weird fish.  Detailed notes on him, basically he's an ego merchant.  He can't play the game really but it all depends on his start.  If he busts his original buy in early he disappears but if he has an early good run he'll keep reloading after his first bust out believing he's better than the table IMO and trying to get the profit back.

It's about the sixth or seventh hand in and long story short, I flop a flush draw and turn a royal.  WOOHOO!  I thought. We get 90% of the stacks in (I had him covered by just under $100).  Then I read the notes I have on him again, as detailed above.  He shoves the river for $20 odd and I decide for some reason it's more profitable to fold.  Obviously I have the nuts but I think it's really +ev to give him some confidence, get him a near double up and keep him at the table long term to spew 9 or 10 buy ins as he has a history of doing this.

Thoughts on this 5th level thinking?  Can you fold a royal flush here looking at long term EV rather than the one hand?

are you serious?  you cant guarantee he stays and that you get more money long term as there is 4 other players looking to take his money, if you were on a HU table and your reads were concrete then maybe but take the easy money while its there and move on to your next target, your thinking is ridic imo

Or stays and coolers or sucks out on Tommy - then leaves!

The only certainty in this situation is that you are chucking away a big pot.

Of course there is possibility he stays and you get more but it's only a possibility.

He could give his money elsewhere before you get a chance to get any of it back and get back to even let alone back into profit.

Obviously method behind it but very risky.

Take the phree money that's already on offer and hope he reloads.

Royal Flushes are over-rated instant fold.!!

I really hope I was correct in thinking this was an April Fool.

It's after 12 now so i'm allowed to spoil the party if it was.

I like the thinking "shear a sheep many times", but its not something that I would ever do.  Like someone else says, he clicks sit out, your not going to feel very good.
