A live hand and a tell

[stokken]

Yhe hand in itself is modestly intereting, it is my opponents behaviour I wonder what others experience is when iterpretating

I am in lp with TT, I have a decent stack. Mp raises it 3xbb, he has me covered

BB completes

Checked to me, his check had me pussled as he would normally follow up with a bet. I bet the pot, bb folds. The oop then gets on his feet,says all in, push the chips and walk away from the table. Made hand or drawing you think? What do you make of him not wanting to see the immidiate action and leaving his chair. I watched him and he glanced over sometimes and was sort of pacing behind our table.

I don't think anyone folds second set here.

Windmill slam.

[stokken]

I didnt fold. I thought he was drawing to the flush, holding an A and not a top kicker, or KK-QQ. It is the tell I am wondering about, when someone does this I read it as they are not sure of their move or they feel that they are gambling it up. Just wondered what others think. Would you lean towards him being afraid of the draw,the A, or the one hoping to complete his draw.

Explain "windmill slam" please?

[gobboboy]

Take the cards in your palm and swing your arm around in a 360 degree arc in the air like a windmill and slam them onto the table. That's how good your hand is.

As I said the hand in itself is modestly interesting, I know it is a good hand. But what about my opponents behaviour, what would you make of it???

[Matador225]

Looks like a flush draw to me. Maybe K8 of hearts or something like that.

Since nobody else here seems to be able to read what you're asking, I'll answer.

I would initially read this action as him not wanting to see what happens, so I would want put him on the nut flush draw with a pair, K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 8[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img]. But this is not a typical MP 3xBB raising hand, so it is also possible he got married to KK or QQ and is praying you don't have an A, or will fold a weak A. He could be on the straight flush draw with K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] Q[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].

And the last option, of course, is that he is putting on an act, and has either 88 and thinks he has you crushed, or AA and actually has you crushed.

So what did he have?

*Edit* Oh, he had Aces huh? Well, then he was probably putting on an act.

[stokken]

I read him correctly when I saw his behaviour as an act of not wanting to see the action until it was over and nervousness. He showed AA when I called, and rose because he was afraid of the flush draw, saying he had busted with AA against flushes so many times, when we spoke later. I just couldnt make up my mind wether he was anxious because drawing or because of the draw possibility.
