Bluffing or Value Betting?
Keld Volquardsen raised to 40,000 on the button, Steve O'Dwyer called in the small blind and Aage Ravn squeezed from the big blind making it 100,000 to play. A familiar pattern, but one that Volquardsen was not interested in exploring further as he folded. O'Dwyer was far more curious and he made the call in the small blind.
Flop:
O'Dwyer checked to Ravn and he moved 100,000 into the middle. O'Dwyer was giving him the good old "O'Dwyer Stare" and Ravn looked so laid back we thought he was going to fall off his chair. O'Dwyer made the call and we moved on to the turn.
Turn:
O'Dwyer once again checked, and this time Ravn moved 200,000 chips into the middle. This pot was starting to get heated and O'Dwyer knew that a call was going to leave him with a tough decision on the river. Ravn leaned back in his chair and as he did so O'Dwyer released his hand.
