Default If i fold, will you show?

Player 1 is on a pure bluff and bets out on the river.

Player 2 has some kind of hand but doesnt like it too much.


Player 2 asks Player 1 if he would show his hand if he folds.

Player 1 says: "yes, i'll show'.


To me that sounds like Player 1 wanted the Player 2 to fold.

So saying: "yes, i'll show" is to me the same as saying: "Please fold."


So Player 1 saying: Yes, i'll show" should make the call for Player 2 easier imho.


Any thoughts on this? [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Or Player 1 is thinking "Hahaha he sure will be pissed when I say I'll show and then I don't show."

If I'm player 1 why would I possibly answer that question? Why not watch player two fold more often than not, whether I'm bluffing, or semi-bluffing, etc?...

This might be true if your opponent is thinking on the first level.

To act first you mean? Player 1.

True, Player 2 can think: "He says I'll show, to make me think he has nothing and i'll call against his monster."

Player 1 can think: I'll say: "I'll show" so he thinks I want a call because he thinks I'm pretending to be weak. And therefore he'll fold.

An infinitive loop really.
