Professor Plays Position

[user57954]

An early position player opened the action with a raise to 700 and Howard Lederer made the call in position on the button.

The flop came {10-Clubs}

and the early position player lead with a bet of 800. Lederer makes the call. The turn comes the {4-Hearts}

and the early position player leads once again with a 2,000 chip bet. Lederer thinks hard before cutting down four purple chips and tossing them into the middle to make the call. Lederer seems content to play position and let his opponent do all the betting in this hand. The river is the {2-Diamonds}

. The early position player slows down and checks the action over to Lederer. He thinks long and hard, with his head in his hand and cringing over the thought of making a value bet. In the end he decides to just check it down. His opponent flips over {Q-Diamonds}

for a busted straight draw leaving Lederer's {Q-Hearts}

as the winning hand.

Lederer has been quiet so far today but has now progressed to about 23,000 chips.
