Warning: Call-Muck Virus May Be Spreading
Poker players are survivors. Successful players look for every possible way to win each pot, giving themselves the best chance of winning the tournament they are in. The 'Call-muck' virus attacks this thought process and somehow makes players continue in a pot right to end and when they face the river bet they call-muck. It's a most costly way to lose chips, and therefore the virus most poker players fear catching.
The player showing symptoms was involved in pot with Barry Greenstein and Josh Arieh. Arieh ducked out of the way on the flop, but this particular player called Greenstein's raise and then called his turn bet when the came. The river saw Greenstein bet again and this is where the symptoms become clear. The uninfected part of his brain was active when he asked Greenstein, "You have aces-full?
But then the infected part kicked in and he called and mucked instantly. Barry took the pot without having to show his hand down. At the moment this is an isolated case, so no need to worry. We will keep on the lookout for anymore signs of this deadly poker player virus.
