David Saab

David Saab is trying to educate his opponents. If only they would listen! Saab, sitting in the big blind, called a minimum-raise made by the small blind, James Suen. Both players checked a flop that came down {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{6-Clubs}

{2-Clubs}

. On the turn {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

, Suen reached for chips.

"Don't bluff! Don't bluff!" warned Saab. Suen followed through anyway, making a curiously small bet of 1,500. Saab called. The river fell {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

, and now Suen made it 6,100 to go, a pot-sized bet.

"Do you know what that bet mean?" asked Saab. "It means flush or no pair. I think no pair. I call." Suen turned over {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{A-Hearts}

. "No good," said Saab. He showed {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{6-Diamonds}

for a rivered two pair.
