Cheers Pete for the extended, uncut, full, detailed, explanation
For the record, he really did have
as he showed after i had folded. Didnt want to reveal the hand as it obviously has a major impact on how people assess the hand.
Before i posted the hand on here i was thinking to myself that maybe i could have found a call simply due to the way he views my game and especially how he knows i view his. Glad to see the majority of people also pass the hand, even though obviously in this case it wasnt the correct fold. Istill think it would be 95% of the time!
Dont need to really add much more as 'Big Chara' has barely missed a detail. Anyone who has heard him chat can imagine himreading this all back without the need to take a single breath lol.
Only other thing is that i was pretty suprised a couple of people dont raise the river...
I see it as pretty standard in a cash game in this circumstance, especially as he is going to be giving me credit for a bluff here a lot of the time and call me with a bare ace playing the two eights on board and a queen kicker. He's also paying me off with AQ, AK hands and all smaller flushes. Pretty limiting to your game and easy for opponets to get a feel for your hand if your only raising boats here surely!?
