Actions Do Not Speak Louder Than Words

[user10554]

At one table, everyone folds to the small blind, who accidentally says "Six thousand" as he puts out 600 in chips. A floorperson is called over, and he tells the player that he just bet 6,000, and the bet stands.

The player in the big blind says with a gleam in his eye, "I haven't looked at my cards yet." He glances, shows 7-2, and folds. The small blind escapes from his mistake with no damage.

Howard Lederer's No Peek

[user24788]

Howard Lederer raised 600 and both blinds called. The flop was {7-Clubs}

. The small blind bet 700. The big blind folded. Lederer went into the tank for several minutes before he raised to 3,700. The small blind thought about what to do for a minute before he folded A-7 face up.

"Will you show?" he asked Lederer.

Lederer smiled and tossed his cards to the dealer. He's not one to show his cards.

Simon 'Aces' Trumper Survives Quad Jacks

[user10554]

With the board showing {J-Spades}

on the turn, a player bets 5,000, and Simon 'Aces' Trumper calls. The river card is the {K-Hearts}

, and the first player bets 7,000. Trumper thinks for a bit, saying, "There's only one hand that beats me here." He thinks a little longer, and simply calls, leaving himself 2,000 in chips as he shows {K-Clubs}

for top full house on the river.

Most people would have put their last 2,000 in the pot there, but Trumper's read was correct, as his opponent shows {J-Clubs}

for quad jacks.

Trumper is down to 2,000, but most players in his situation would already be headed for the exit.

Cracking Aces, Chapter One

[user37786]

After a middle-position player raised to 600 Stephen Feraca re-raised to 1,500 and was called. The flop came {6-Diamonds}

and when Feraca bet 3,000 the other player moved in for 6,350 in total. Feraca flipped over {A-Clubs}

and his opponent held {A-Diamonds}

for the nut flush draw. And that draw got there when the {2-Diamonds}

hit on the turn. Feraca is now down to 17,500.

Cracking Aces, Chapter Two

[user37786]

Robert Cheung had chipped up to 35,600 before he had the misfortune to run pocket Aces into pocket Kings. We say "misfortune" because his opponent made a runner-runner flush to snatch the pot away and leave Cheung with 21,500 in chips.
