If (1) he really is a tight player as you give him credit for; and (2) you believe his chatter, then you can't raise on the river. If both of these conditions are satisfied then he must have KK. He started talking about the 'bad beat' after the third diamond fell right? If (2) is satisfied and you are slightly off about (1), could he have raised you pre-flop with QJ [img]/forums/images/icons/diamond.gif[/img] , and he's worried about Ax [img]/forums/images/icons/diamond.gif[/img] ? What's his definition of a bad beat? To some players, especially bitter, tight players, any beat is a bad beat.

If only (1) is satisfied and (2) is not then raise his narrow ass. This could be the on-line equivalent of the live move where you grab your chips when you're in late position and look at the potential bettor as though to say, 'if you don't bet, I might, but I'm at least going to call'. I've seen this used by bad players frequently trying to get you to check if you're in early position.

I dunno. I wasn't there. What happened?
