Tim Dolan Makes A Great Call
We passed by a table and heard a player remark about the "family pot" that was being built. After a player in middle position raised to 250, Tim Dolan and three other players made the call and we went five-handed to the flop.
Flop:
Completing the home game vibe, all five players checked when they saw the first three cards, and the dealer turned the . This time Dolan decided to take control of the hand, firing a bet of 350 at his opponents. The big blind player raised it up, making it 725 to go, and Dolan made the call.
River:
Dolan tapped the table for a check and the big blind continued with the aggression, sliding a bet of 1,625 into the pot. This move prompted Dolan to go deep into the tank and he thought things over for a full two minutes. During this time, the big blind player began to fidget noticeably and perhaps this physical tell motivated Dolan to make the call, because he tossed a single chip into the middle.
The big blind player announced "nice call" and turned over his for a missed draw. Dolan flipped up for just a single pair and a confidence building call.
