Re: 10NL: getting paid off

Re: AK TPTK - can I lay this down to CRAI on the river?

I agree with others that his line smells like a set or maybe he turned two pair after floating with 89 on the flop. It's unlikely, but certainly not impossible that if the villain has seen you...

Gladwell's book "blink" is an excellent book to get you thinking about how we...
