there is a definitely difference because of the action. It was all bet and calls. No bets, raises and then reraise. I will obviously push this hand but when there are bets, raises and reraises on a single straight board, i don't remember ever seeing a non-chop.

I doubt if I raised pot on river he would have stopped. If he was willing to max bet my river raise, he was going all in.

Ps....that was a highly subtle joke. Did you spot it?

it was so funny that i forgot to laugh.

and you know that americans don't get subtlety... only brits can do that.

had a bit to drink tonight monk? what was your poison?

lol nope. But when I do,more often than not, it's some form of beer.
