I found this to be a very strange bet.

My reasoning being i reraised a raise b4 flop and for a pair of 2's to bet my exact amount and enough to cover other player on the flop b4 the 2 raisers acting i just dont understand.

The only reasoning i can see is he put us both on high cards and that none of us had a jack. Even so with a reraise before flop you would think one of us has pocket pair higher than his so why would he bet his 2's.

The other player called him with 44 for reference.
I fold cause i know im beat. I only lost 8.50 in the hand so it wasnt 2 bad but the strangest thing is

i say "u know that card was coming"

i say "very strange bet"

trying to get a respond with this comment to understand the play he made
and he got up and left.

so was it just a badplay by him or am i reading 2 deep.

Raymond

Sounds to me more like a variation on the theory, if you miss the flop and have chance to bet first then bluff. You could say that unless the 2 comes on the flop, 22 will almost always miss and so you have to go for it, especially against a raggy flop. But I dunno. Other people tell you not to get married to hands that miss the flop. And yet more people say if you bluff once you should be prepared to follow through with another bluff if you get called. The other people then think you are a bigger idiot for being even more married to a hand that missed when you get beat. And when you have just lost a bundle you tend to think they have a point. I try it both ways because I'm not sure who to believe. So it will depend on how confident I'm feeling and how tough the opposition is. Tough opposition is easier to bluff as they have the imagination to figure out what you are representing. Whatever, I always seem to get it wrong, I always seem to be bluffing into the nuts or I'm checking AK down only to find a junk hand pairs the river and the bluff on the flop would have worked. Drives me crazy, especially when I see hands like the above when the guy just got lucky. To quote a blues song, if it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all.

One of two things here. Either he was just trying to take the pot down hoping that nobody would call or he didn't care if he won or lost because he was going to leave the table anyways.

I've seen this happen a lot at that site. I'm not sure if I seems like that because there are fewer people there or what.

Nice lay down though Ray.

Total donkey bet and possibly and even worse call with 44. How 22 can think he's ahead at all here amazes me and for 44 to put his stack on the line is laughable.

Just because someone has a hand doesn't mean to say they are not bluffing. If he had xx it would obviously be a bluff. When it's something like 22 was he bluffing or was he a donk? There is insufficient information to be rude. You need to ask the guy and then guess whether he replies truthfully.

I really dont like anyone seeing any action on 22 but lots of people are happy to. I guess when there is no a or K on the flop he could feel he is ahead and wants to protect his hand against ax but very strange play even if we see it happening alot.
