Default Re: Two Liars

I know I've told this one before, but I like so I'm going to tell it again. Playing draw poker, I open and a guy who had previously passed calls and draws one. I know he doesn't have a straight or flush draw, he wouldn't play head-up to draw, he's got two small pair. So I draw one to my pair of jacks, don't improve, and bet out, knowing that, as a tight player, figuring me for a tight player, he'll fold his two small pair.

He calls. I now need to save face.

"Two pair," I say, hoping he'll show and I'll claim they are bigger than mine. He does nothing.


"Two small pair," I say. Still nothing.

"Deuces and threes with a four," I say finally.

"Chop it up," he says, as he lays down deuces and threes with a four.
