Default Grr--tell


I think I really gave one away last night. (Luckily, this isn't a bad beat story, just of not getting that last bet.)

I tried to steal the blinds with an A 3 and the big blind went after me. To make a long story short, I caught an unlikely third 3 on the river and raised BB's bet. I'm sitting to the right of the dealer with BB on the other side, and the BB was chatting and fooling around with his chips. I thought he was calling me and I went to turn over my cards, but then I stopped. I asked the dealer if he had called my bet or not, and the dealer said not yet.

At this point the BB looks over and sees me looking like I have ants in my pants, waiting to show him my hand. I realized what I was doing but by then it was too late--I just had to hope I looked like I was faking. No luck; he folded.

Oh well, live and learn. The lessons are: don't let your poker face down when you get distracted, and don't sit next to the dealer.
