Oddly Played Hand

[tolbiny]

"If bb did know the button raiser VERY WELL, that could explain his fold prior to the river. Perhaps he knew that button boy would only call on the turn with a hand that could beat one pair AND with a hand that had outs vs. a made flush"

This also doesn't explain why he mucked before the river, which could have helped him with the 2 kings left to come.

Yah, you could normally say that but it wasn't a Mirage regular, Clarky [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img].

Are you sure? Why did he fold his hand face-up then?

hi babe

they do this sometimes. the BB doesn't want to be drawn-out on by a low heart. what you should do if you hold the set....oh wait a minute. the BB shows after the call? hmmmm.

this looks like sleep deprivation babe. the thing i can't determine is which one is the sleepy?

Febuary 16-20th, you'll have your chance. Unfortunately, i'm in class all day, so it'll have to be an evening session for you. either that, or you can hear the rantings of the mirage regulars about "that idiot from california"

I know it doesn't explain the fold prior to the river but I am grasping at some type of explanation here for this extremely odd play. If we assume our bb was not unconscious, drunk or stupid, then he certainly knew he had 2 outs with a "paid for" river card (assuming, of course that the river was not a heart (if he put button on a flush draw) or a card that paired the flop (if he put button on a flopped two pair ) or a card that just paired the board (if he put button on a set). So, I dunno.... It's a strange one.
