Default the first best thing that can happen, and the second best

the best thing that can happen is tommy wins the pot on the end and stacks the chips. but the second best thing is for him to be called and then he turns his cards up and says nothing and gives nothing (shameless showdowns he calls them) and loses the pot but his opponents are befuddled, confused, incorrectly thrilled or excited, it spells trouble for them if they start to reconstruct the hand in their heads. it leads them down the path to losing serious chips to tommy in the future.

it's only a little worse than the first best that can happen. theyre both good things. it's a win-win situation.
