Hi Randy,

What about heads-up?

I recently played this hand....

I open-raise to $25.

Tight pre-flop player makes it $50 to go.
I call.

Just the two of us to the flop.


I check-call $15 on the flop.


I check-call $15 on the turn.



I bet $520 on the river.


He thinks for a while, then starts to muck.

Before the cards leave his hand, I say, "I'll show you one for free, the other one is going to cost you $520 to look at."


This sparks his interest. I show him his free card. Within seconds, he calls.


So, Randy and Capone (and other 2+2ers).....


1) Am I a low down varment who violated the spirit of the game?


2) Or am I a bad ass poker playin' M%$#!@ F*#%*& :-)


Just wondering. Thanks in advance and happy pokering!
