For instance:
Without getting into details, I had made a raise and another player re-raised all-in. While I was debating whether or not to call, he said:
"Please don't call (pause, pause, laugh)... you know what that means"
My logic-
1) Asking me not to call would normally represent a strong hand
2) The second part of his statement indicates that he knows he is telling me he has a strong hand, at which point my next logical step would be to put him on a weak hand.
3) The fact that he is trying to get me to assume that he has a weak hand made me believe he actually had a strong hand... I folded.
Is my logic sound, am I making way too much of some player's noise, or just taking this way, way too far?
Thanks.
