lol - maybe this was someone that read that hand of Mason's that Andy posted a week or so back. Baaad timing.

[BeerMoney]

lstream, you missed the fact that the guy called open aces and queens with a pair of eights.

[lstream]

Ya - I was referring to the sixth street raise. He must have thought he had a flush or something - 4 color decks for this guy. [img]/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

I'm not a stud expert but is there an advantadge to bluff calling on the river here?

"I'm not a stud expert but is there an advantadge to bluff calling on the river here?"

If you have $540 and want a nice round $500.

[wheatrich]

The advantage is everyone then thinks you're a total donk.
It's the old hustler routine. Then you play perfect and rake in the money.

[The Worm]

I like it, it's genius.

LOL! If he caught that card, it would have been quite the suck out.

Looks to me like he was trying to bluff him out. Some folks don't lnow when to quit.
