Sure, Doyle knew that he was beat. I am not arguing with that. It's the combination of a very dry flop and a big overpair that makes me wonder. On a 7-high rainbow flop he folds queens to a min-raise? Come on! Not even Hellmuth does that.

Let's say they decide to softplay each other. Wouldn't this be exactly how it should work in practice - using betting patterns similar to bridge?

First they sandwich Singer and once he folds it's all about deciding who gets the pot. I make a raise if I think I can win it, you make a min-raise if you think that you got a monster, I fold unless I got the absolute nuts in which case I re-raise all-in, then you give it some Hollywood and fold.

Rumors are that Chip and Doyle got something like 20 years of experience "besthanding" people in such a way.
