Re: \"Yeah, I got a 4\" -- can he do that?
SB thinks and thinks and thinks, then calls and shows 84 for a full house 22288. BB turns over 42 for quad 2s.
Ouch.
Interesting gamesmanship in this hand. BB thinks this gives him the right to act cocky, until his stack gets decimated over the course of a few hours trying to be the bully.
I was not involved in this hand, and kept my mouth shut throughout, but I couldn't help thinking that something was amiss by revealing a card. In the course of flipping the 4 over while the hand was live, his other hole card almost fell off the table (BB was also drinking adult beverages). In this cardroom, I've seem a hand declared dead when a card leaves the table.
Lesson I took from this hand: don't screw around and try to get tricky by showing a card while the hand is live. In this case, SB probably still would have called.
