Re: Trying too hard on the river?

Interestingly, he DIDNT HAVE A 7. He had 88 and had tripped up on the river. He thought for ages and called anyway.

I am consistently amazed at how much people suck at poker. Nice hand. People are saying it's a bad bluff and they are right, but not because this play never works. It just requires an interesting parlay of events. Gotta be bad enough to re-open betting w/o a 7 and good enough to fold whatever he was value-raising when you push. Not many people like that.
This was a really gutsy play. I like that part of it a lot. Know your opponent next time.
