Re: $10-$20 live game, pocket Kings in the BB and your opponent is ... ME
Just realized that in my post earlier this morning I didn't write the hand I held:

Part of the further story of this hand was that he was talking about predictable a lot of 2+2'ers are, especially those that write frequently and/or write for the magazine, as if somehow every aspect of our game is transparent. FAR be it that I don't realize that a ton of people can outplay me ten ways from Sunday ... but I also don't believe that everything I do is 100% textbook and predictable.
And while it would be somewhat predictable to play the flush draw that way -- it's not the only hand ... and losing that bet to say that you can save a bet is, as I said, bad, which is why I brought this all up in the first place, as we all hate the "calling station" moniker but sometimes, when the pot's X size, you have to realize people will take shots.
Even some (especially some!) of our beloved 2+2 brethren.
