kevs_nirvana has been involved in most hands so far, only showing down once. If this happened in a $10/$20 SNG which are my usual fun and games, I wouldnt even think twice about this and am just happy to pick up a few extra chips. However, at this level do people make these folds just so as to not reveal what they are playing?

either way it looks bad, he either shows you what he's limping with and is embarassed or he folds and a smart player knows that he had something to be embarassed about ... either way his table image goes way down

ty for reply

The thing here is he could quite easily have bet a relatively small amount to take the pot down and of course then wouldnt have to worry about showing..
