I was playing a live 1/2 game last night. I am on button with K7spades. Early position (75 behind) opens to 10 and 3 callers (2 of which are deep). I have had a good run and have around $500.

Flop

7h 8s 9h

Everyone checks and the turn brings the

7d

The early position raiser bets 25 and he is acting very strange. His hands are trembling and he is taking big breaths. I call and the river brings a blank.

2s

Villian bets all in for 50. With trips I am rarely folding here anyway but from the way the guy was acting, I thought I was beat.
I asked, "Can I see one?"

He said, "You can see them both." And flips over AA.


"Call."

He got up and left and told the floor that he hadn't played poker in a while and asked what happened.

I was hoping he would show one because he probably had no idea that I had trips. But, I guess it never hurts to ask....

Fold pre.

Fold pre.

Then ask dealer for your cards back and....

Fold them again.

In before locked.

I think you are confused.

The only problem with asking questions is that it becomes an ego trap. You start talking merely so you can hear the sound of your own awesome voice and let the table know how awesome you are.

"What you got? Do you have the set? If you had the set you would have done X, Y, Z therefore I think you just have a W, or that you are on a draw because you bet R and that is what you bet last time when you were on a draw..."

and the questioner goes on and on and on like he is on Poker After Dark asking questions when in reality he isn't asking questions. He isn't looking for a response. He has his mind already made up and he really is just posturing for his ego and for the table and then after 1 or 2 minutes of letting the table know not only how you think but how you play you go ahead and make the play you were going to make anyways...

Man, good thing you got in before locked!
