Overacting Can Invoke the Wrath of the Poker Gods
An early-position player raises, Roland De Wolfe reraises 1,800 more from middle position, and the first player thinks for a moment. He holds his cards out as if he is about to muck, and asks De Wolfe, "Will you show me your hand?" De Wolfe says he will. The other player says, "Show me one card," and De Wolfe says he will, but only after the other player folds. The first player apparently changes his mind, and says, "All in."
De Wolfe calls, showing TT. His opponent shows AA, and it was all a big Hollywood routine to entice action from De Wolfe.
But the poker gods did not think kindly of his actions. The board came QTK99, and De Wolfe cracks the aces with a full house, tens full of nines, busting the other player.
Roland De Wolfe is up to 50,000 in chips, and he's smiling.
