How can you spend so much time here and well, play in a non-optimal way.

I mean you both played that hand awfully and where is the snow ???

Muck this predraw in the SB

Villain drew one, made a straight, and wonders if perhaps Hero made the same or a higher straight. (That's my guess). And by calling, Villain gains insight into Hero's play.

Spike, come on, this forum is too small for a level. Seriously what the heck is going on here? *Maybe* you try to steal the blinds if you think BB is a pushover, but 1) no way do you check/call R3 OOP, 2) a bluff after drawing two on the end will pretty much never work and 3) I bet drawing one on the end wins more than drawing two. And on top of all this, villain flat calls with that?

No way this really happened.

I think we have to demand the raw HH before any more serious criticism. lolcat pics would work best.

BB drew one and called with aces up, meaning he thought he was playing triple-draw high. Thinking ace to five, he would have at most one pair; bluffing/snowing, he would raise.
edit: not sure why he'd draw 1/2/1 though - maybe a SD/FD, paired up and kept the ace kicker?

Good thread title though.

i would NEVER level u guyz...

I am so lost at how the hand was played. Wtf?

Amazing. So you were both looking to pull a fast one.

But why does he call? (musing). Well... he does beat a straight. Not a favorable call for him from an odds perspective, but not impossible for Hero to draw one and make a straight - and in that case Villain wins. Or maybe he just wanted to see what Hero was up to. (I keep looking for logic when perhaps there is none).

Buzz

only reasonable explanation is one of them is an idiot and the other is an idiot that thinks he is playing triple-draw high

My eyes are bleeding

Also how is this even a snow? You drew for all 3 rounds!
