Both hands are from the final table. The guy that folded in the first hand got knocked out before we played the second hand. The guy that called me in the second didn't have much of a hand, but he wasn't the kind of player that folded a lot. Do you think that he called based on the fact that I had represented a pat hand 38 hands earlier, or do you think he would have called me down anyway?
There were several interesting hands in the tournament that could be discussed, but I'd like some opinions on these hands first. I posted more hands in my blog:
