That's actually pretty funny. Did you tell him what you laid down?

Here I am praising his play, and he didn't even know what he was doing.

and after i folded he showed me his hand saying something about how "he had it"...

Re: interesting 20-40 commerce hand
 

Didn't read all the replies so perhaps someone (or you) mentioned this, but if he really had a better hand it is very unlikely that he checks the river after you checked the turn. He's a good player and wants to get something out of the hand and cannot be sure that you will bet. Also, he has not shown much strength and he knows that you know that he's a strong player capable of betting with air, so a 1/2 to pot sized bet could easily get called by you even if you don't have much. Plus he would be thinking that perhaps a bet by him will bring a big re-raise/bluff by you. It just doesn't make sense for a good player to check the river with a 3 or a full house. Oh, well.

That's the funniest post I've read in a week. Thanks.

A play I like to make...
 

J,

First off is Karga the soft spoken Jamaican guy that always plays the 20?

Secondly, with hands that can't stand raises on 4th(especially) or 5th street, damn on any street really, I like to bet the pot or overbet the pot so that thinking players don't interpret my bets as being weak therefore discouraging them to try to make a move, unless they have it.

The key to this is to play your hands fast, even monsters, so that they would have to have tremendous heart or read to pull off a move.

Also the call of this bet clearly (but can't say that always) defines the holding of most players that call this bet which is valuable for subsequent streets.

Now back to the hand, if Karga is who I think he is, I would have called since his image of you is being one capable of making plays.

Remember that move you tried to pull on Rupe when he had the 10's and Karga had the 2 pair and thought so long before calling, after that he will give you action for life.

But if Karga is not who I think he is, then forget about that entire ramble.

Why do you check pocket Jacks?
 

Forgive me for asking beginners question but is it normal in this situation to check pocket jacks?

I'm guessing with deep stacks much more important to deceive or trap than to get the blinds and limpers money?

What percent of the time do you check pocket jacks in this situation?

Thanks
