Sklansky Riddle
This deal features an unusual situation I've never seen before.
I checked the turn, called the river, and scooped the pot.
His flop raise, his turn check, and my turn check were all correct plays in the Sklansky (Fundamental Theorem) sense.
How can that be?
I'll post the answer in a while.
Back to real poker, I'm comfortable with my decision to check the turn, but I don't have any strong feeling that it is right. There have been situations recently where whackjobs manuevered me into giving them cheap rivers/showdowns using flop checkraises and then checking. It always feels really bad when it happens. But getting checkraised twice with this piece of junk isn't exactly clever either.
Good discussion guys.
