Daniel's KT hand : his push all in was kind of odd, before he pushed, he didn't have that JJ read - I don't think he knew if he was bluffing or not! If I was Antonio I'd put Daniel on spades or a str8 draw.

Daniel's K8 hand : I don't get why he called the flop & turn to insta-muck the river. Was he trying to spike two pair !? It seems like he suspected AK or AQ and that's why he called the flop & turn, but then he folds the river to a moderate bet. I can only surmise he thought Jen would give up with unimproved overs.

Daniel's play with the 64 against Johnny sure looked nice, but I'm not sure Johnny would fold an overpair in that spot with how loose & fast Daniel's been playing, or maybe he would but I'm not sure he should.

Oh yeah, it also seems like Antonio really does get to people when he just sits and stares at them. Whenever he has a tough decision he takes a long time and tries to talk to them and get a read, and unlike most people he actually seems to get something out of it.

I think Antonio was calling him. He just didn't want to make a quick decision.

I think you're wrong. Antonio was throwing his hand away. Daniel gave away too much information, that's why Antonio called.

What info did he give away? Why was offering to show his cards if he folded such a dead giveaway? If encouraging to fold is a show of weakness, why do you knock think that weak means strong? This may be obvious to others, but not to me. Thanks.

He said, he'll show his cards when (not if) Antonio folds.

Ok. What does it mean that he said "when" as opposed to "if?"
