“I thought to myself that with the raise he made, he looked like he had a pair of 8s, 9s or 10s, ... But I thought I'd try to take a flop and catch a king, queen or a couple spades, so I called.”
“I'm going to go with my read. What tipped me off was, if he had a real hand, he would've bet $30,000 or $40,000. But when he bet $50,000, it's a huge amount, and I'm thinking, 'He really wants me out; he doesn't want to make it easy on me at all.' It led me to believe that he didn't want me to call at all.”
