Great story about Stuey

Did anyone here ever call with 10 high?

It is a hell of of story. But I don't believe it happened. And if it did......that dirty dog was wearing cobalt blue glasses.

The gin story is good though.

Ah, the old blue glasses story again. What is the general feeling, is there ANYTHING in that story?!

"Ah, the old blue glasses story again. What is the general feeling, is there ANYTHING in that story?!"

I didn't think there was, until I heard, "You've got either 65 or 54. I call."

That was the first time I considered that there MIGHT be something to it.

It's really hard to sipher through the cheating McCarthyism, but I was really surprised as to how much cheating actually did/does go on. Not that it matters to anyone else, but I have a reliable friend who has a reliable friend who is 100% sure the cobalt blue glasses thing happened [img]/forums/images/icons/smile.gif[/img].

Well this is not quite in the same league but here is an amazing call with 10 high I saw in $2000 buy-in limit holdem.

Ted Forrest opens with a raise somewhere in the middle.
BB on a complete, insane rush calls. I am possitive that he was a chip leader of the tourney at this point. There were around 350 people left out of 600. The guy could not miss a hand for the lst hour.

Flop Q Q 2

Ted bets, guy calls.

Turn 9

Ted bets, guy calls

River 2

Ted bets, guy thinks, thinks and calls.

Ted- 33, Guy 10-6

The table is shoked.

Of course the guy took me out, but crashed and burned soon thereafter.

Why can't anyone give credit for picking up a tell?

Was Stuey accused of cheating during his life? Or did these cheating stories come out after his death? I'm assuming that "cobalt blue glasses" are some sort of cheating device.

Thanks for giving me the chance to brag [img]/forums/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
It was in a $3/$6 heads up hold'em game almost a year ago. I was playing a very aggressive player who I had gotten a pretty good read on. He limped in the small blind and I checked with 10-9 offsuit. The flop came A-K-Q, check, check. The turn came an 8, check, check, and the river came a 4, when he bet out. I called and beat his 7-5 suited.

I knew he had small cards or he would have raised preflop, I knew he wouldnt bet a 4, so he either had an 8 or I was winning, and I took the 2/1 gamble.

Regards,
Richard

Who has a 5-6o tell?

Some joker called me on the end with 10-high about two months ago. I must have an obvious "I can't beat 10-high" tell because I couldn't. [img]/forums/images/icons/frown.gif[/img]
