Yeah listen to this guy. And play at my table.

Nice hand though...

Edit-Didn't realize you folded.....my bad.

MP3 probably had you outkicked on the quads.

[nickey009]

He did make a preflop raise so you're probably right. *pats self on back* good lay down by me!

I don't like ATo that much, but I don't hate it either. I don't think this was a bad laydown pre-flop, however, I probably would have open-pushed if it was sooooooooooooted.

Let's turn it around and assume you didn't fold. What is the way to get the most money out of this hand? Check-raise right there and hope he figures you for a steal, check-call and lead the turn? Any thoughts?

[nickey009]

He's folding regardless. I say a check raise though. If he calls I'd check the turn. I'd hope that he has something like KK and couldn't lay it down.

[PoBoy321]

I just saw a guy open push from the UTG, for like 50X the pot pre-flop. A maniac calls with AT. Puhser has AA. Flop comes T high, turns trips. All I could say was wow. The guy left the table about 3 hands later and I was PISSED.

Fold and show. Mop up on future hands after every player at the table makes a player note on you saying "imbecile."
