This is a great example of Ray Zee's specific value of deception in High-Low Split Poker for Advanced Players. Villain believes I am on a low draw and makes what he believes to be "lose less" calls the whole way down with two pair.

In other news, I still hate playing high-only hands. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
