Bluff or a Value Bet?
Level 15
: 2,500/5,000, 0 ante
We found small blind Marc Matz calling a bet from big blind Nick Kost on fourth with the board reading 
. The river paired the board with the 
, and Matz checked. Kost pushed out 5,000, more than half of his stack, and Matz called.
Kost showed 
for a counterfeited two pair, but Matz mucked his hand.
After the pot, there was some discussion about whether the bet was a value bet or a bluff.
"It was a lot of things," Kost said.
"You didn't like the call, though," one of the players said.
"No," Kost said with a laugh. "I was halfway to the door."
