Default The strangest hand of poker I\'ve ever played...

I'm playing in a very soft 2/5 NL game. At least two superdonks involved, with straddles common and restraddles not uncommon. Swolfe was playing with me, and was running over the table. However, Lady Variance had chosen to teach me a lesson in humility this evening, so I was down to my last 200 when the following hand came up:

SuperLAG straddles UTG to 20. I look down to see AJo in MP. I raise to 60. Everyone folds except SuperLAG.

Flop: 10 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 6 [img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img]2 [img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].

SuperLAG immediately says, "I put you all in." I go into the tank.

Here's where it got strange...

SuperLAG, whose name is Joel and who seems to be really nice, and has about 1500 dollars in front of him, says to me,

"Listen...if you show me what you have, I'll tell you if you should call."

For whatever reason(and flame away for this), I believed him. He then says, "You should call."

Then he says, "Here, let me show you." AND ROLLS OVER HIS CARDS!!!!! He has KQo...so I am indeed ahead. With a very confused look on my face, I call, and MHIG.

I gotta be honest, I have never seen someone do this before...it's not like I'm major friends with this guy. I had been sucked out on all night, and was slightly steaming...but this hand rattled me worse than any of the bad beats combined.

I cashed out three hands later...partly because I doubled up and was back to even for the session, but honestly, it's mostly because I'm just totally out of sorts. I can't stop hearing the voice in my head going, "WTF was THAT????!!!!!"
