Therefore I think his chat certainly would have pushed you towards the decision to call instead of fold whether or not you are consciously aware of this, and if you were at the time, you'd muck because he probably wouldn't chat unless he knew this hand was a lock for him. (not sure if I worded this clearly)

If there are any pysch majors around, please come forward.

Although, I tend to agree that villain saying anything is going to increase hero's suspicion level, and thus push him closer (maybe not significantly though) towards a call. And that on average a player would probably be more nervous, and apt to keep their mouth shut, if it were a bluff (or not a lock).

What I found funny is, when I posted it in IRC the same people who said it's an easy fold also said they liked villains line in the hand
Which idk I thought was kind of contradicting, but whatever.
I pulled off a Daniel Negreanu and called to see if I was right, and I was


I think I was wrong when I posted and I already had 170 hands on him but nothing remarkable... running about 20/12 with 4% 3b. and no notes on anything fishy. But like I said I was somewhere in my B-game with an alertness level of C-
