He sent it to me in an email, and with his permission I’m posting it here for more to see, so I can (hopefully) not have the same issues in the future. Here’s Martin’s reply:<BR/><BR/>OK, that was actually in reference to the guy in Marsh's post. Wasn't trying to pry out the bluff, I mean I wasn't even in that hand. OK, well maybe I saw the flop but you know what I mean. As for digesting the hand, I pretty much outed you at the time. My read was that it was an desperat-ish "go away, don't call me" overbet on the river. I think a set of Ks or Js would have tried to coax out another 150 or so. You also clammed up into rock mode which is another "don't call me" posture. You'd also figure that anyone with a set would try to talk Joe into calling with two pair. I can understand the move though since you had reverse-position and first to stab into a pot that had ballooned up plus you were successfully trading on your tight image. Anyway, nice hand. Just thought I'd give you some feedback on my observations on the hand...just don't use that info against me!royalbaconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18161270363498369220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7012366747492399470.post-36894508852983367902008-01-09T12:22:00.000-08:002008-01-09T12:22:00.000-08:00I can't believe I missed out on Marty Farha last n...I can't believe I missed out on Marty Farha last night.
