				 Brag:  Live Read 
 
			
			I was playing in my 5 cent 10 cent home game last night with a few people that I have been playing with for 2 years now.
 I was in the BB and the SB, a solid player makes it 40 cents to go.  I called so fast I basically beat him into the pot.  (this was just to get a reaction from him.  I had Ad5d).
 
 The flop came down 2 5 10 rainbow, and he came out firing.  I have seen this guy play big hands fast and slow, but something told me he missed the flop.  I raised him and he reraised me.  Something in his body langauge told me did not have a hand.  I called.
 
 The turn was a 7 and he checked.  I should have bet here but we'd been drinking and I was having fun messing with him, so I smaled and checked behind him.  The river was a Q; he fired out about half the pot.
 
 **I don't think I could describe the way he normally acts, but I knew something was off.  I counted out the chips, looked at him and said "the only reason I am calling is because I don't think you have anything."
 
 He turned over AK and my 5's took the pot.  The table went nuts and all hell broke loose after that, but I couldn't get any more action from that guy.
 
 Small stakes, not played great, but I fealt really good about making the read and acting on it. (I really felt like it was a 'read', not just a 'hope')
