5/10 6-max: My opponent sucks at poker

I think he is just bad, but maybe he just misread the board. Thought there were 3 to a flush on turn or 4 to a straight on river. I have never done that, but I have made some weird plays because I misread the board.

I have made some weird plays because I misread the board.

heh... As long as we're going with the no content theme...

I play in a local limit game on Friday nights and had a hand come up as follows:
I'm dealt AJs in LP. BB isn't a great player but isn't awful. EP is a maniac.

EP raises, I call, BB calls.
Flop is JT7, BB checks, EP checks, I bet, BB calls, EP raises, call call.
Turn is 7, BB checks, EP checks, I bet, BB now raises and EP calls.

EP will call with AK here. He might have an overpair, but he could have a lot worse than I have. BB though, I got a read on him that he was REALLY strong from his body language. So I folded. River was a brick and it went bet call, and BB shows down T8 vs. EP's QQ. BB then says "Sh*t, I thought I had T7."

Definitely happens, though I doubt much given AHS's statement that Hero is terrible that this was just a board misread.
