You never know. I think the pot is so friggin huge you might as well bet the river becuase every once in awhile the guy might lay down a baby flush. Tex's play is highly consistent with a made flush so he has a chance.

My thinking went like this
son of a ______ god_____mother_____piece of____diamond un ______believable SO...assuming i was beat, i did what i felt i had to do....break into academy award winning mode and bet the river with a speech..... I put a grin on my face and said simply, i'd hate to have the J [img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] in this spot...then asked the table if anyone was going to call.....and proceeded to bet..... |

[/ QUOTE ] While I don't agree with the river speech, anybody who knows anything about poker would most probably make a crying call with any diamond. But they would not be happy about it and they would sometimes fold. |

See the thing is, the river speech might work in a reverse psychology sort of way at the 1-2 level. The default tell for a player that is talking is that he has a strong hand and wants a call.
