I can't believe the fold on hand 1. I would never put you on a straight or set given that action.

Are you joking? Gavin's fold was correct in general.

Why is that? Assuming Gavin knows Sheets can play, why would he overbet the pot with a hand that has Gavin drawing to 2 outs and possibly 0? Wouldn't a great player try and extract a little value here? I'd smell a rat.

Now if he makes a weakish bet, then I could see reason for concern.

But what if Sheets thought that Gavin would think that and...

I don't think Gavin's fold is bad by any stretch here. Not sure why he'd show though.

I thought about that, but in order for Sheets to be thinking that he'd have to put him squarely on a large pair, which IMO is difficult to do, and doesn't neccessarily lend itself to gavin's large flop bet.

Also, wouldn't you give the Sheets a little less credit for a draw given the fact that he just called a very large bet on the flop? I'm sorry, but I just don't think the pieces add up here enough for me to lay this one down.

I'm assuming gavin didnt know sheets, in which case his fold was standard. Also if gavin knew sheets well his fold was correct imo... the only problem arises if gavin say barely knows sheets, but has heard he is aggressive (he is).
