Boston Rob's Attempt at Heroism

Level 5 : 100/200, 75 ante

"Go easy on me," Rob Mariano, who's better known as Boston Rob, as he looked over at your reporter on the scene.

The scene was as following, with {Q-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{J-Spades} on the table and a few thousand chips in the middle.

Mariano was facing a bet of 1,700 from Deb Swift, who smiled as she looked over at her opponent.

"Is it still my turn?" Mariano said after a while, getting the other players at the table to laugh.

"The anticipation is too high now," Mariano smiled after a while, as he was still pulling his arm back every time he got close to throwing out the chips for the call.

Eventually Mariano did call, and Swift showed {9-Clubs}{4-Clubs} for a pair of fours.

"This is what I called her with," Mariano sighed, tabling {A-Clubs}{3-Clubs} for bottom pair.

"I went to the seminar this morning, and I should've raised!"

"Like Jason says, 'If you think about folding; call. If you think about calling; raise.'" Mariano continued.

Mariano lost a bit of chips on this hand, but he still has about 16,000 to work with while Swift is sitting on around 22,000.
