Button mucks.
My read from the start was 2 broadway cards. He was a smart player, but definately not used to playing against someone like me. He had the over aggressive 'strong' frame the whole hand, and I, literally, called his bluff. The river came and I did not like it, and I check it, but by his actions I was sure it didn't make his hand. His bet was so much larger, that if it made his hand he definately wants me to call him.

I was very friendly with the fish to my right, and we were chatty the whole night. I propped up my cards and looked at the button who stared at me and friendly fish said "wow no way you can call this here" as I'm counting out the call.

I call and put the bet in, button asks "Did you catch your ace?"

"no, I have a duece though" and show my hand. The button mucks and the table explodes "no way sick call" "unreal" "wow".

For the rest of the night I had the table by the balls and did not have a single pot stolen from me in the next 2 hours.


Focus: How many of you make this call. How bad is my play?

Raise the turn.
To win in poker you only need to be one step ahead of your opponents. Two steps may be detrimental.

Watch out, doggz; sooner or later, the majority of your guesses will turn out wrong.

None of us would call. You're a genius.

Hand Protection 101 this is not.
It's not what's inside that counts. Have you seen what's inside?
Internal organs. And they're getting uglier by the minute.

This play was worth at least 200$ on top of what I won in the pot. I completely owned the table for the rest of the night.
