Bob ..

What about the comment on the Sunday game at Berri when you came to the table..

"Gee, I have no room between you two guys!!"

Bit Harsh.

I thought that was you David. I must say that you were the only person I actually bluff on the whole weekend and I'm really sorry M8. :oops:

I did say I was ready to go home and when you asked me what I had I said a straight. But you thought I had 2 pair and folded. I actually had 10 4 off. :oops: I only played it coz when I looked at my cards the UHF call of 10 4 big Buddy was like an omen. :? and so I tried to represent I was much stronger than you were. :o

I must say I didn't feel good about it as I'm not prone to bluffing. But I didn't want you to stew on it so I fibbed a little so you weren't on tilt. :roll:

Didn't matter - there was definitely fold equity there - I didn't feel like putting in over 2000 just to walk out!

Yeah I know how that felt on the Saturday night David with 3 big stack going ALLIN just about every hand and not wanting to waste what you have to see if they were bluffing or not. :(

You had a good read and I assume I had the right look for you to fold. When I see you again can you tell me which look I had so I can try it again? :lol: :roll: :oops: :o :( ;) :) :? :twisted: :roll: :mrgreen: :geek:
