Can anyone explain this hand ? Apparantly yes. I showed this hand to a guy at work who has played poker before and listens to me ramble on about my poker wins and losses. I was taking him through each stage of the hand. Villain's flop call was 'obviously 67' he said to my amazement. I was impressed. He seemingly picked the villains cards out of the blue with no history or read. When I showed him the call on the river he smiled and said yeah, thats easy he called because he was bluffing.

OMFG! what?

I would suggest his ability to read that was an indication of his talent more then anything else. I commend that man!

this is a typical case of putting the guy to your buddy list and anytime he is there make sure that you play with him.
I play on a lower level but there are crazy players. Especially Saturdays. I think they are drunk.....
