How do you know they have 88-TT when they fold to your reraise?

Because I make observations about hands that I'm not involved in. Holla.

Well how do you know what anyone has once they fold?

[/ QUOTE ]

Because the player who made the original bet often doesn't fold and the hand ends up at a showdown. That doesn't mean they pushed, of course. They may call and then comes the turn, blar de blar.

So how do you know they would have folded!!

Curtains, you've played long enough to understand the psychology of the donk. You must get into their donk brain:

"Hmmm. I called with my pair of 9's. But this guy might have a big pair. He raised preflop. And now he's betting! I don't want to lose all my money here to QQ-AA again (as I've done 15 times the past two weeks). Lemme raise a little to see if he has AK or AQ. He'll surely fold, maybe call. Uh-oh, he reraised all-in. He must have a big pair."

Folds.
