Jan Von Halle is not a random fool, he is a professional player. imo its very unlikely that he misread his hand and surely he didnt check just to show his hand.
I flat-called a river bet to close the action with a royal flush playing online with a four-color deck because I misread the board. If I can do that then I'm sure someone who doesn't have their cards staring them in the face can do the same.
I've been cruising around the 2+2 forums for about 6-8 months or so now... never made an account or anything, but I like to check it out every now and then.
Just thought I'd let you know you made me piss myself.
For what it's worth, yes, I did misread my hand badly. I was "sure" I had two black cards (KJo) in my hand. I saw my mistake only when I opened my hand after announing "straigt". For those understanding german here I wrote all about it: http://teamde.intellipoker.com/index...-check-behind/
I got a warning for it and was needled badly (and rightly so) for as long as I lasted in that event which was obv not to long by the level of play I showed today.
I understand why you have to warn a guy, but isn't this very likely to be an idiot who just wanted to make sure he showed down his special hand and didn't see any value in a bet anyway?
This is not the internet, you can show your hand after they fold on the river.
He wrote a blog about it and said he simply forgot he had the Jh and thought he only had a straight and was afraid of a flush.
He didnt check his cards because he thought that would look weak.
