well it shows that even when you read a player as too loose and aggresive that doesnt mean that he cant have a real hand. we always make decisions based on things liek 'he is a loose player" and assume that we have him beat with a pair of kings. but an ace is a dangerous card.

here is something for you to think about: how did mason's opponent play when faced with masons board? also, it is not certain that mason was behind, or at least that is what masons opponent believed. so how do yourate mason's play in that respect?
