James Noonen is sitting at Fabrice Soulier’s table and is enjoying the Battle of Malta with a beer or two. Or three.
Sometimes he calls when he means to raise; sometimes he folds when he means to call. We’re not sure whether his confusion is part of a system or genuine.
But he seems like a very likeable guy. At least his opponents like him.
Right now he min-raised from the button with 9♥ 8♥ and got a caller in Soulier in the big blind.
Flop: 8♦ 5♥ 5♦
Fabrice checked and James checked his top pair behind as well.
Turn: J♣.
Now Soulier took the lead and bet 7k. James called.
River: 6♠.
Again Fabrice bet 7k and again James smooth called. Fabrice turned over T♣ 5♠ for trips and somehow Noonen managed to lose the minimum in this hand.
Cheers to that!
