I played a somewhat sick hand in my local poker room this weekend.
We're 12 players left in a field of 40, 100$ deep stack, blinds are at 2000/4000.
I have about 120 000 behind, villain has 110 000.
I am dealt A
10
, we are 6 way and I open to 10 000 from UTG+1. Folded around to villain in the BB who calls.
Flop: 3
6
K
Check-check.
Turn: J
.
I lead for 7000, and then he begins holding his head, moaning, waving with his hands, getting agitated and unable to sit still and saying "what kind of a ****ing spot have you got me into here". It is obvious that he's very distraught or acting like it. I suspect the last, and that he's holding a flush and that the raise could come at any time. He then counts out the call, throws them in while saying "well, I have to try".
River: 4
Once again he checks, shakes his head and looks very agitated. I'm thinking about what to do and it strikes me that it probably just looks too good to be true. The club is a fairly serious one, and I know that the player has been placing well in several tournaments, not sure if he's pro or not, but I suspected it. He probably knows very well that the tell he's giving means strength and that I know it as well, and he might be using it to his advantage. I decide to chuck 10 000 into the pot.
He drops his head onto the filt, pulls his hoodie up and it looks as if he's about to cry. After half a minute he looks up, says "all in", and I snap call. Embarrassed, he turns over his Q

Have you ever seen this kind of tell?
