Wow... that is hilarious. I have no idea how you can fold any two cards for a free showdown. Worst case scenario you give off a table image that you can use to your advantage later.

I think my favorite part of the article is that the two guys that go to showdown are named Bill and Ted!Most Excellent!

The names were changed to protect the guilty.

funny, yes and i've always laughed at people who did the same thing...until i did it also.i was on a rough streak at 5/10 recently, and got stuck in a hand with only a 9-high flush draw. so when the river comes a non-heart, and it got checked around i quickly mucked, mostly out of frustration. i then proceeded to feel very stupid as the other players turned over a 10-high (also a flush draw i might add, so i was drawing quite thin) and pocket 4s. i hadn't noticed that the river had paired queens (which also would've been a good bluffing opportunity, since i'd check-called to the river with top pair the previous hand!) so the board now read 5-8-8-Q-Q.since i hadn't shown down, i did not get my share of the $80 pot.so don't be stupid like me, show down your hand every time.daniel

I don't get it...You guys don't play 2/4o in a capped pot preflop? Don't even get me started on the value of 2/4 soooted!!They both played that hand incredibly!!! Right out of my strategy book!Zach(sw)

mr danny g, maybe im missing something, but since when does 2 pair with a 9 high chop with 2 pair with a 10 high. Is there a new rule in poker where we only use 4 cards now?

Well Danny, you can rest easy. Your Q-Q-8-8-9 would have lost to your opponent's Q-Q-8-8-10.

I would love to learn how you come to think that your nine high is going to chop with the 10 high...

[mrdannyg 274]

clearly, i'm a moron.thanks for the correction guys, and with surprisingly few burn marks.obviously, i don't remember the exact board, but suffice to say, they did split the pot, and i would've as well.daniel

Eh...it's Friday...we're all in good moods. 482 posts later you've probably earned a get out of jail free card anyways...

[mrdannyg 274]

I had a hand a few weeks ago which was counterfitted on the river. I ended up with 7 high. I fired $25 at the pot, and my opponent called. I turned over my cards and proudly announced THREE PAIR. He mucked!
