I don't get Benyamine doing a big hollywood act when Sammy raises, and then he just reraises himself. WTF does that accomplish? It just makes it more suspicious like he has a monster. (I get the reraise, but why the big hollywood act, it's so fishy)

yes... an instant big re-raise would have been very deceptive.

The truth is, its just about impossible to be deceptive when you know you are going to re-raise a big turn raise on a 3 flush board. You just have to hope you're against another big hand like an A-high flush or a set and that they can't get away from their hand anyway.

Once you put in a big re-raise the cat is out of the bag no matter how you were acting or how fast you did it.
