flop: Q74 rb. Hero checks, btn bets 200 all-in and starts muttering garbage to sb, including the assertion that he has a set of 7's. Hero hears this despite ear buds.
Hero tanks and lines up 200 in chips in front of his cards, and btn says sthg like "he called, I have a set of 7s", and dealer says he hasn't called yet. Hero thinks and folds after several seconds.
Turn is a J and sb wins side pot with KJ, tilting hero. Table is in mild uproar, and later (after maniac busted out) some recall later that sb did sthg very similar (but worse) before .
Wow, sb wins side pot as the short stack and you never even looked at your cards before mucking?
I think you need to review/edit this... I assume you actually did know what you had before you made it 100 to go? Let us in on it!
