Can confirm!
Last night; saw all 3, and I see them regularly at 2/4 live. One guy was doing #3 so much it became a joke. He'd shove his remaining few chips in, and say "I have to catch the bus home, I just want to go home" and he always won/had a strong hand. Did this about 3 times over 3 hours and we'd laugh.
Shaking hand has never been anything but a monster in my experience. (Unless they are old and are always shaking.)
I saw one last night that I'd like to get some input on.
Let's call the 2 in the hand 'Bill' and 'Ted;
Bill and Ted are HU @ the river.
Board is: Q
T
4
3
9
Bill bets big on the river and as soon as Ted starts to tank, Bill says "You know there is always the option to fold. It's there."
Then Bill even starts shuffling his 2 cards back and forth and picks them up and even jokingly goes to throw them in the muck but stops himself, he does this a few times.
More tanking from Ted.
Finally Bill says "Nice hand mate, nice hand" and waits....
Ted calls, has something like 2 pair, and Bill had the straight (K
J
).
Can't figure it; Did Bill think he was behind to a flush and was truly thinking he was behind and about to be called by a flush? (All the players are "monsters under the bed" types here, they always think someone hit the nuts.) Or was this a tell?
