Hand from the Orleans

So, I said "I think you have the Ace of hearts and the Queen of diamonds. I call."

He showed exactly those two cards, I pulled in a nice pot, and the table was so spooked about calling his cards that they just may have forgotten that I raised preflop with 2-5.

Is this a joke? I know you are a far better player than me and all, but I get a feeling that every one of your post on her (not on the STT forum) is some sort of wacky hand were you made a read Jesus (the one from Nazareth) would have been proud of. Feels a bit like you are taking the piss sometimes.

And anyway if you knew he had A high, and didnt want to show your 25 why not push? He wont call and you take down the pot.

That being said, loved your reasoning about the size of the preflop raise. It's stuff like that which makes me realise how much I have to learn.
