Totally angled this fish

Was playing 1/2 and a guy had straddled the button for $50. I had AQs so I shoved for $300. I decided to say I was in the dark. My dealer buddy backed up my play. The fish in the BB believed me and called with A6.

Do you think this could work on a bigger scale like HCL?

I don't know if I even call with A6 even if I know he didn't look. If it was suited I would I guess

The best thing about this is that there's another post from the guy on the receiving end in here too. Lol.

If he’s straddling for $50 in a 1/2 game why are you only $300 deep?

You mean you said you’re all in dark but you saw your cards? Would that be illegal at a casino table? I would think you could say what you want and any dealer would let it go.

It's poker Phil!

Lying is allowed and also encouraged.

One time I was playing at the casino. I can’t remember how it all went down but I was bluffing a top pair (Jack) when the board paired the Jack.

I had position, it was already a decent pot. He bet and I shoved.

He sat there for a bit and said to me ā€œyou’ve got the Jack don’t you?ā€

That calmed me down knowing he didn’t have one.

ā€œYeah, of courseā€

He eyes me up further and doesn’t believe me. I hoped to get him off my back so I said in all honesty if he folded I’d show him a Jack.

He sat for a bit and then folded. He asked to see my Jack and without blinking I said ā€œthere’s two on the tableā€ and mucked my cards.

The table got a little giggle. He was fuming and said ā€œyou gave me your wordā€. I replied that I said I’d show him a Jack and I did. It’s also poker, a game of deception..

He tried to get the dealer to do something and was ignored.

Put him on tilt for the rest of the night.

I loved it

correct its on your opponents to follow the action. That's why you may notice a lot of good players don't look at their cards until the action is on them (for several reasons actually), but one of them being they are following the action. At a casino though a dealer should not and likely would not comment whether or not he thinks someone is dark, that is far out of the scope of their job.

What’s the other reasons? So they can see reactions better?
