Villain offers to show a card
I was in a hand about three months ago so i'm a little vague on all the details but it went something like this
1-2 NL at the taj. Hero has ~$350 villain has ~$500 hero has 8c9c villain is UTG+3 and raises to 12, hero is in cutoff and calls, blinds fold. flop comes 8 9 2 rainbow villain checks, hero bets $20, villain checkraises to $70 hero calls turn is a 5 villain bets $125, hero? -Villain is a tight solid player but i know he's capable of making a play. -I've played with him before and he knows i'm TAG but i was also loosening up a little bit in previous hands and making some plays Now here is where it gets interesting. I tell him i have a real hand right now. Villain offers to show me a cards for $30, I ask him if it matters which card he shows, he says no. I think i should have paid to see the card but i don't see how it makes my decision easier, the hand i'm afraid of is a set and he said i could pick either card. What do you think? something happened afterwards but i want to see the response to this first. |

Re: Villain offers to show a card
The only hand he could possibly bluff with here is 77 or 66, and most people aren't smart enough for that. 99% of the time when a situation like this occurs, the villain has the goods.

He's retarded, allin. You should've shoved the flop.

Forget paying him, poooooosh and find out. He definitely doesn't have 76, and if he has the other two 9s or 8s, so be it.

Re: Villain offers to show a card
shove the flop, he very likely have an overpair, way more often than a set.

Re: Villain offers to show a card
This is how I lose all my money at cash games.
You say to yourself I have 8,9 so he can't have pocket 8 or 9. He C/R the flop so the 5 probably did not help. So do I think he really has 2,2. I'm basically pot committed if I call. So let's SHOVE. Then bangs he turns over the pocket 2,5,8 or 9. Cash games just seem to work that way in a tourney I probably shove the flop and don't think twice about it (even if i lose) |

Re: Villain offers to show a card
Can't really fold top two here. Move all in and hope you're still good.
IMO the villain offering to show a card is a sign of weakness. If he was that strong, he would shut up and let you get all in against him. He could easily have an overpair, or a worse two pair. Gotta call here. Also, consider this: suppose you buy a card for $30, and he shows an ace. You then push all in, and he folds. Result = he keeps $160 that should have been yours, and you paid him $30 to do it. |

Re: Villain offers to show a card
Why is everybody commenting on the flop play?
The question is, do you pay to see the card NOW? |
