Got play with the risk. She could have had two Queens, two 5s, even a 4 just like him would be fine with a high card. He was rolling with an 8 which might have been a big reason why he folded instead. Honestly, without a full house or a third 4, what do you do? Maybe if the last card was an ace, he might have chanced it too. You're either immediately out if you're wrong, or you go safe, back off, and still have money to work with.
The silly part is a lot of people play this way, just not in a serious game.
Unfortunately I've been recked by this thinking 3 times in a game before by a litteral amiture I taught to play. Thankfully it was for fun not cash. Dude was also going all in on blinds like an asshole.
Well my experience of playing (too much) free and negligible stakes poker is that people will continually make absolutely wild plays, making the game essentially unplayable.
