Only Look At One

Level 3 : 75/150, 0 ante

We came to Peter Aristidou's table with a flop showing {8-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Diamonds} and a check to Aristidou.

Aristidou bet 400 and sent the action flying to the opponent on his right. The player had apparently only looked at one card and let it be known to the table, having a chip protecting the one he hadn't looked at.

At this point the player raised to 1,900 and put the decision on Arisitoud.

"I'm willing to bet the one you havn't looked at it better than that one your'e betting on," Aristidou said as he was contemplating his decision.

Aristidou made the fold and the player showed the card he had looked at to be the {7-Hearts}. Asking to see the other card Aristidou pointed out that he would have lost the bet as his opponent turned over {2-Spades}.

It was probably better that the player didn't look at both cards, having the worst hand possible may have turned him off playing at all and he never would have won the pot.
