I would never make that kind of laydown, I am trying to imagine what the days of poker were like before any authorative books on poker were out, I see a bunch of old men who are only playing the nuts and never mix up their play.

Wrong... actually back in the day you had a mix of suckers and sharks. In a small town environment you get to know who's who. Not sure of that particular hand but I've played with some of those folks that also played with Doyle back in the day here. I've seen 2 of those players in a hand where I kid you not, one guy layed down a straight flush to another guy (who had a higher straight flush). What you may not believe but is absolutely true is that this was a 3-6 limit game.
