1/2 holdem playing about £600 with scandi playing the same

straddle to 10....scandi pops it to £25....and I make it £75 from the button with Ad As

call call

flop 4s 5d 8s

check check I bet £200 and the original raiser calls

turn 4d....check check

river 5c....   and the scandi pushes all in (about another £350)

I tank for a while and after some time the scandi says I can look at one of his cards to help me decide................after some debate I turn over the 8c................

this causes much mirth around the table from his mate etc........

I then ask if I can flip and show my cards...........which is agreed...and I table my AA...............

much more laughter and debate around the table...........

What now????????????? and why?

If he's your typical crazy scandie with half your stack in almost think you must call for me

Why not set him in on the turn?

Only reason I can think of is to encourage him to bet river.
Which he does, so why are we nit rolling him instead of snap calling?

lol mangleaments

Fold pre.  Scandies smash AA for lolaments.

^^this

If he's got 88 he's got 88, 85 and 84 would often raise you on the flop. You have to call imo...

Call, if your beat your beat :dontask:, but knowing you I bet you folded ;D

Regular 1/2 game at DT (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/)D (http://www.dusktilldawnpoker.com/)= fold

turn is such an amazing card. shove all day on the turn.

I should have got away from this after he allows me to flip one of his cards.

If I flip a card and see a 4 or 5 its a fold

If I flip a card and see a 2 9 10 J K Q .....its a call

6 or a 7 .....???

so he can only allow me to flip a card if he has 8 8......... and therefore I will always see an 8 .........

I checked the turn for this reason .....so I can get away from it.....and then make a crying call as I dont want to be bluffed by a scandie.....lol

lol @ live poker

i reckon you have to pass here.

the fact that he offers to show one card almost (99%) certainly means his hand must be massive - if not, its a sick sick bluff.

once he shows you an 8, what else can he have? surely he is not value-shoving or bluffing with A8, he would just try and check it down wouldnt he?

did he have 8-8? cant see any other possibilities really

You seen some of the hands these scandies been playing on dtd thread lol

hahaha okay

why smash in £200 into the pot on the flop just to check it back when pretty much the gin turn card hits with only £350 back?  obviously theres a case at times to check turns to induce bluffs on rivers, but when the pot--->stack size function is as it was, coupled with being up against skandis with deep pockets and a lack of care, you should be absolutely over the moon to send it in on the turn.

this

yes 88

I'm amazed u called u nit 8)

Yes bad I know

Still I could of bluffed off £800 with K high
