The Auto Fold

[ptmusic]

You guys were kind of harsh. I enjoyed the article, more so than some others. It may not be realistic, but it's fun to read about people trying to spread misinformation.

And who's to say it doesn't actually work for the author? Haven't we all seen some fun deception plays that worked?

I remember a guy who joined my table and on about his third hand he gets into a BIG pot preflop. Flop comes 6 7 J rainbow, opponent bets into him. He thinks for a while then meakly tosses out a call while saying "What - is Ace King no good at this table?".

Turn is a 2, another bet and call.

River is a King, opponent checks, loudmouth bets and wins when opponent folds. Then loudmouth shows 43 offsuit. So he was chasing a gutshot, but he won because of his deceptive statement.

I actually don't think he should have shown, as it didn't seem to set up any plays later in the day, but it was good for a laugh and a bunch of chips.
