The latter... but how can you not know this? He does not beat a single hand, which includes yours.

[HerbieGRD]

He probably misread the board and thought he had a flush or a straight - either that or he was hoping for a chop.....

I actually have a theory about this. Many times I've seen bluffs on the river by people who have checked straight draws. Check flop and turn and feel like they missed a chance to semibluff so they do their betting on the river. But the most perverse form of this bluff is when they catch their draw on THE RIVER. Open ended on the river and they're betting...or even raising. It's just bizarre. Oddly, I hardly ever see the flush draw bet the river.

This play isn't terrible because they bluffed, but because it was impossible to move you off the pot.

[rokstedy]

it's terrible because it wins NEVER. If he's successful in pushing the other guy out, he wins zero chips. if he's called, he loses every single time.

Maybe I misread the post, but how does UTG win the main pot?

[gensui]

he had 44?

yeah, I was trying to figure this part out as well, but from what I assume, the hand was just put into the converter bad and the UTG actually won the side pot and the hero won the main pot.

[4CardStraight]

Hero won the main pot.

Hero was all in.

UTG bet into a dry sidepot with the nut low. or something. he literally wins never
