Default Nice Read Sir!

Playing heads-up, raised 4 out of the first 5 hands, won all of them either preflop or flop. Then this gem happens...

Hero (t1750)
SB (t1250)

Preflop: Hero is BB with A[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] A[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img]
<font color="red">SB raises to 90</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises to 270</font>, SB calls 180.

Flop: A[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 5[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] 6[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] (<font color="blue">2 players</font>)
Hero checks, <font color="red">SB bets 300</font>, <font color="red">Hero raises 1000</font>, SB SNAPcalls 680 and is all-in.

Turn: 7[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (<font color="blue">2 players, 1 all-in</font>)

River: J[img]/images/graemlins/spade.gif[/img] (<font color="blue">2 players, 1 all-in</font>)

SB shows 8[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] 9[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img]

Best part about this hand was the chat that ensued.

him: thought you had ak, sorry
me: wow. nice read sir.
him: not really, you had aa
me: ... yes i did actually.
him: you shouldn't play your hand so strong, <u>i thought you were bluffing</u>
me: wow.


AK, but bluffing??

10 hands later I double up 99 to A6 and then again KK to J8 on a QJ7 flop, and he types...

him: wow, you're good
me: yup, only pros get premium pairs.
him: its true!!
him: i watch the wsop and they always seem to get like qq or better every hand. i wish i knew how they do it... i never seem to get good hands.
me: yeah, full tilt doesn't deal good hands to !*$&amp;#! players
him: that's so unfair!

Brag: I beat him. LDO.
Beat: Only won $21.
Beat: Dude snapcalls with 9 hi saying that I was bluffing, and beats my set.

9 high beats bluffs if you call aggressively enough.

That's a good agressive call if you ask me, he beats alot of your bluffs and he has outs for the nuts. Standard
