My hand vs. Mason Skanky at Fiestsa del Feugo

Three tables left, Manson is on my immediate left.

I have 140,000
Spunky has 670,000

Blinds 100/200 w/ 500 ante

Folded to me in the SB w/ A /images/graemlins/spade.gifA /images/graemlins/club.gif, I raise becuase I know that Mason knows that I raise with any two here and I want him to think that I know that he knows that so I'd raise with a good hand, but since he knows, I could have any two.

Mason looks me up and down and says "have you read my books?"

I say "I don't read comic books Skanky" and he immediately raises.

I raise to hide the strength of my hand as I know that he knows I would smooth call with AA.

Spanky calls.

Dealer turns over A /images/graemlins/heart.gif 3 /images/graemlins/heart.gif A /images/graemlins/diamond.gif

I check as Spunky would expect me to bet the nuts so that it wouldn't look like the nuts.

Manson bets the pot

I ask him what he had for breakfast that morning, he says "Oatmeal", I immediately put him on the 2 /images/graemlins/heart.gif and another card and I raise.

Spanky smooth calls.

4 /images/graemlins/heart.gif

I know that I have him cold, but I bet because I would bet if I missed the flop and if I hit the flop and I want him to think I hit 2nd pair and I want him to raise.

I bet 1/2 pot.

Marsha goes into the tank, expells some intestinal gas and raises.

As the gas wafts over to me I smell the unmistakeable odor of eggs, HE LIED ABOUT THE OATMEAL and know I know he has the straight flush, and immediately fold my AA face up and say "Nice hand Sparky"

Munson looks at me like I'm a god and says "how did you know??"

When you understand what motivates people like I do, you can't explain it.

Later at the break while he's eating a reuben, he tells me he had J /images/graemlins/heart.gifQ /images/graemlins/heart.gif

Because the sauerkraut is slightly rancid I believe him.

I was getting ready to say "funniest post of the week" simply because it is writen so well... But if this really happened I'd say most retarded.

I dont think this actually happened, but if it did, Im going broke on that hand. Or i guess actually doubling up....

Awesome psychological play - get him aggravated and re-raise you with any two. Well done.

First question: was it the "Oatmeal" part that gave him away? What if he said "Frosted Flakes" instead? ... I have never considered trying to make these kinds of reads, so now I'm way behind and trying to learn.

I'm sure you're right, but could you please try? I think you're giving up on us way too soon here.

He's lying. He flopped it. Well played, great laydown.

LOL. NH.

[ansky451]

hilarious.

[betgo]

Brilliant play. I don't know if anyone else could have made that laydown.

Quads are kind of a trap hand. You always wind up losing a big pot to a straight flush.

I was reading this book by some guy named Cloutier. He said that you have to play quads carefully and know when to lay them down.

Clear WA/WB situation, and his raise makes it clear you're WB. Nice fold.

[ansky451]

I'd still call and hope to hit the case 5th ace on the river, since the impied odds are huge. He can't fold SF there.

i like ansky's idea the best especially with their still being 2 "draw 2" cards left in the deck

Um, only the "Draw 4" cards are wild. Besides, this would make Villain a 6-flush. Learn the rules of Pokeno or go back to the 5-dollar tables, donkey.
