Do fours really look that much like aces?

I've put guys on an A or a 4 when they look back at their hand at times. It has helped me in many hands. It's definately a tell.

I don't think it's that unreasonable to get these cards mixed up. I've once had T4 and played it like TA. Also, in omaha I've had this mixup. One time, I don't recall what the exact situation was, but I had a similar experience as the OP. I wound up folding because I pretty much put the other guy on aces and he said "good fold" and showed me his "aces" which were actually A4.

yes, A-4 is the hand that can fool my eye. I've never made the mistake bad enough to play it as AA, but there's that split second where you think it might be AA

ive always said that A4 is my least favorite hand because of the many times you get an a and then initially think you have aces when you have a4 [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img].
