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.

[/ 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. |

I have mixed feelings about your speech. But I would bet the river here in an attempt to kill someone's baby flush, with full intentions of folding to a raise from anyone. Who's bluffing you out in this pot at this point?
By the way, did you drop your stack of high society, or did you play with the best, and win? |
