Tells and Negotiations

We observed a hand involving Ryan Fair against an opponent who was enjoying a massage. Fair was posed with a tricky decision and went into the tank. He gazed over to his opponent to try and get a tell, looked up at his massage therapist and asked, "Can you tell me if his back is tense?" They table just laughed and Fair was forced to fold his hand.

On another table we overheard a player who was going to fold but wanted to see his opponent's hole cards. When his opponent declined, he tried one last bid in the negotiation battle, and offered his opponent a lollipop if he'd show. His opponent turned him down once again and the cards were tossed into the muck.
