Think About It

Preflop, a player in the four seat raised to 1,500 and action was folded around to Tom Franklin in the big blind. He was in a conversation with another player and slowly looked at his cards. He then capped them and said, "It's only 1,100 to me? I've got to see that then." As the dealer pulled in the pot, Franklin said, "But, I'll check to you."

The flop fell {2-Diamonds}

. The four seat checked.

Franklin: "What?"
Four Seat: "I check."
Franklin: "Really? My turn again then?"
Four Seat: "No, I checked."
Franklin: (slyly smirking) "Ya, but I wanted another chance."

The turn fell the {J-Clubs}

and the four seat said, "You have your chance."
Franklin checked again and the four seat followed in turn.

Franklin: "Give me a deuce."

The river fell the {3-Spades}

.

Franklin: "That's close enough. I bet 15."
Four Seat: "Ok. I call."
Franklin: "Wait a second. At least think about it."
Four Seat: "No, I call. I have king-high, but I want to see what you have."

Franklin smiled and turned over {6-?}

and his opponent shows {K-?}
