live 6/12 game I won 2 showdowns w/out showing down for decent pots.
1) me, junk in blind, flop 962 and bet w/ a 6. turn blank, all check, river K, I check one bets all fold, he mucks after I call his bet
2) me A10 small blind, raised pot preflop 4-5 callers. Flop AJx, I bet, all call. Turn J, I check, one player bets, I call, others fold. River blank, I check, he bets, I call. He says "Do you have an Ace?" I say "Yes, I do".
He mucks, I get the chips then muck too. I think he was expecting me to show him the ace, I figured, why bother-I am going mess with him. He was not happy.

This is excellent. The only thing I'd add is one final look at your cards before mucking.

Maybe flash the ten as well.

I did take the final look. Also, if you flash one, the dealer has the option to show both. The rule there is "show one, show both".

One reason I like playing down at Treasure Island, Dave. You can show just one card, no problem. Both in tournaments and ring games.
Copy paste that message I sent you about the 4-20 spread hand I sent you from last night.

That's retarded for uncalled hands.

Flash one and send them flying into the muck. The games I've played at live, unless someone was being a dick, if someone won the pot uncontested, they could flash one no problem. If the pot went to showdown, it was always two cards though.

From Jonnyboy's private message on our fishing site, this is from the Indian Casino's 4/20 spread game:
I’m in the #1 seat. Just ran my $200 buy in up to a little under $800. Most of the table is on tilt because I had just taken down the last 3 pots. Guy in the #8 seat raises UTG +2 to $24. Folded around to the button who calls, BB calls. Flop was a 8 hi rainbow rags. #8 checks. Button and BB also check. Turn was another rag card 5. No draws developing. Checked around. River a 9. #8 seat bet $8 into a $72 pot. Button folds and BB call with K5. #8 seat has Ac9c and wins.
So I look at the guy and simply say A9 huh? I’m thinking to myself I at least come out firing away after the turn with a $20 bet. No one was interested in that hand, plus He raised pre-flop. The guy goes full tilt. What do ya mean by that, A9? What, are you a poker genious? When is your book coming out. Blah, blah blah. The guy played the hand terrible!
So, very next hand, I get Ac9c…..go figure. #8 calls, I raise, BB calls, #8 calls. Flop A-7-5, 2 hearts. Checked to me, I bet, call, call. Turn is 10h putting the flush draw out there. Checked to the BB bets, #8 calls and I raise to see where I’m at. BB folds, #8 calls. River is another 10. Scary card here…anyway, #8 checks, I bet he folds….. ????
I flip over the same A9 he had last hand and say that’s how you play A9! Dude stands up knocking his chair over, grabs the last 5 or 6 chips in front of him and storms out cussing like a drunk sailor! I figure I got him to either lay down a weak flush or a set of tens! Hehehehehe!!!

My original message to him was something about how some idiots who have read a book and think they know it all are still so clueless.
My hand: 44 in LP and limp w/ 6 others (6/12 limit at Canterbury). Flop is JJ3 all red. The blind comes out betting, one calls.
Blind: 30-35 years, stupid, calls away all his chips with little, one of those guys who trys to steal when he really cant then cant fold even when he is wrong. He is a frequent loser and welcome anytime
Other: 40 years, on the loose end, but a decent player. He isnt afraid to commit chips for the big payday.
So, knowing that the blind is too stupid to bet if he really has a J, he must have a 3 or mid pair. The other player's smooth call is suspect, so I raise w/ my 44. The blind will call w/ anything and the other player will now pop if he had a J, but I think he has a flush draw. Both just call.
Turn 2, now 2 hearts and 2 diamonds on the board, the blind comes out firing-again, he wouldnt do this w/ a J, the other play smooth calls, I raise w/ the best hand and both call.
River 6 diamond-not great if the other player went runner runner. I just call, fearing a flush or mid pair, but still feeling strongly that I am ahead.
Showdown, K3 for blind, as predicted, other cards into the muck (flush draw? overcards? who know-he called a lot of single bets, but never 2), I show the 44 for the winner.
So the know it all idiot who wasnt even in the hand says "wow, I guess any 2 can win here", I truly dont think he understood anything of what happened. Making solid reads and pushing hard w/ junk when you know you are ahead makes a lot of money. He thought I was just splashing around all night, and he went home broke.

Nice analysis. I wish I was able to think that quickly at the table.
