YES, virginia, it does

I freely admit playing this totally bizzarly. I would usually just lead the flop, turn, and river... but it was only my 8th hand at the table, so I figured acting like a donk might be worth something.

My goal was first: Check/call flop, "fearing a pair", then just act unpredictably. I just shoved when the board made a boat... is that kinda standard when you hope the guy is hoping for a split...
