Okay, this was weird in an SnG I'm in.

Basically, 2nd to act raises 4xBB, guy behind him re-raises 2x original raisers bet and all fold. Flop comes 569 rainbow and original raiser checks, re-raiser bets pot and gets called. Turn is a 10. Check again on turn and again a bet of the pot.

Raiser types "44...you have AK"

Then he folds. I couldn't understand wtf was up. He his opponent on a hand (which the villian confirmed afterwards) and his opponent was behind yet he folds?

I type, before the guy confirmed AK "If you're right, why would you fold that?"

And he responds "A hit on the river"

Funny how the river wasn't out yet, wtf was this kid smoking lol. Any thoughts?

Or he's doing what I often do. Fishing for information for a future hand.

If he actually did have 44 though, what a nit.

You may have it Diamond, but through the whole tournament he would often name what he was laying down without asking for info from his villian. Can't be sure if he had the 44 or what his motives were, but the comment about an A on the river confused me.

Hope he didn't lay down 44, but regardless it was an interesting hand to witness Wink
