[AJo Go All In]

about 6 months ago i was playing mike matusow heads up 50/100 NLHE on UB. one hand on the turn the board was i think QT76, and i had AK for a gutshot and overcards. he bet some amount, maybe $900, and i called. the river came a J and i made the nuts. i end up busting him for $10K, as he had 98 for a lower straight.

he is livid now and says HOW COULD YOU CALL $2500 ON THE TURN WITH JUST A GUTSHOT. MAN YOU CALL 2500 AND CATCH LIGHTNING.

of course i say "it was only 900".

adamant, he comes back with WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT, I BET 2500 ON THE TURN. I'LL BET YOU $10K RIGHT NOW THAT I BET 2500 ON THE TURN. DON'T LOOK AT THE HAND HISTORY JUST BET NOW

of course, i was already staring at the hand history, as i had pulled it up to make sure when he said 2500 the first time.


anyway, this was probably more because i didn't think he would pay anyway rather than not wanting to bet because he's a compulsive gambler, but i said something like,

"mike, it was 900. go look at the hand history. don't worry about the 10k, you can buy me a beer when we meet some time."
