Did she telegraph how weak here K8 was preflop...she basically picked up the chips and slammed them on the table?

I thought he was going to Jam it all in pre flop after that...of course knowing the cards makes the decisions pretty simple.

thank you for mentioning this.. didn't see anyone else bring this up. one of the more blatant strong means weak tells. and yes, granted, i could see the cards, but i'm 100% sure between that and the size of the reraise, i'd have known she didn't have a particularly strong hand.

so obviously i don't fault shankar for not folding the A8s. and i think he's a good player, but i expected him to jam it pre-flop as well. can anyone justify the call when beth has ideal conditions for a go-and-go and shankar will usually miss?
