Faraz Jaka Invents the "Relaxed Fold"

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

We caught up with this hand on the turn with a board of {9-Clubs}{6-Spades}{5-Spades}{9-Spades}. Gino Martinez, a local player with flair, checked, Faraz Jaka bet 5,000 and Martinez raised.

"That's a relaxed bet," he said and raised to 10,000.

Jaka moved all in for about 20,000 more and Martinez let his hand go. "That's a relaxed fold," he replied.

While the dealer was shuffling the next hand, Aaron Massey needled Martinez from across the table, "Gino, why are you trying to bluff the pro? Gino!"
