Yakshi - More Poker Tells

Here is a continuation of more poker tells by Yakshi:

3. Slapdick loses a big pot in a river suckout and has $60 of his $300 stack left. He has just doubled up the table moron. On the very next hand, four players limp to Slapdick preflop.

In this spot, Slapdick will open-shove all-in approximately 40% of the time.

4. Captain Fearful is in a hand against you. You flopped the nut straight on a rainbow board. He checks, you bet 3/4 pot and he calls. Turn gives a flush draw. He checks, you bet 3/4 pot and he calls, but he seems frustrated. River completes the flush. He grabs a big stack, moves it toward the betting line, but right before the line, he checks with the big stack in his hand.

In this spot, Captain Fearful is trying to intimidate you into checking. Feel free to bet 1/2 to 3/4 pot again with the sure-fire knowledge that you hold the winner.
