Sounds like the opponent folded without showing.

Captain Obvious says that Bowker put him on a straight flush. Would make a bit more sense if one of those 7s on the board was a spade.

What's not true? It says he showed quads and folded.

A very good player would not fold quads on that board.

I'd have to have seen my opponents hand to be able to fold there. Even then it's close.

Full HH would be interesting

The Bowker hand is interesting. I suppose I can see it under the right circumstances (though would likely never fold it myself), especially if the one of the sevens on board was a spade. Main event, nitty old guy at the table, makes an overbet raise on the river where he has zero bluffs, and you lose to two combos in his range.. Obviously worried he is doing it with a big boat, but maybe the action up to that point did not point towards KK/99/JJ

Surely the average opponent is going to show if they have worse?

Is it wise to show folding quads?

Totally agree. Guessing Bowker was thinking that there are so many possibilities out there, the nit does not shove with anything short of straight flush.

I could not fold that.

looooooooooooooooooooooooooooool so bad folding

It's not bad until you know the exact action of the hand. If Bowker is repping a boat and villain is a super nit postflop that shoves with no KK/JJ/99 in his range(flatted pre), then it could be a +EV fold.

Anyone supporting a fold is insane.
1) he's thousands of players from the money
2) he can have ~300,000 in chips at 4/800
3) not just be average chips thousands from the money
4) showing it is a disaster because it's so hard to make the nuts and have someone go full monkey and bluff at you.
5) it's quads and so many full house opportunities
6)if the 7s is on board it's even more lol bad. Since all boats are surely to shove regardless if it went checked to the river

Are we ignoring the fact that the report says "According to Kyle Bowker ..."

Maybe he just made up the hand history for the lulz.

The photo of Schindler must have been taken right after that hand, too.

I think you people have been deceived.

It, (quad fold), didn't happen.
