Its an ugly word angling. But now, I realized I shouldnt even say "Im gonna call".
3 weeks ago, this girl tried to angle me.
Cash game 1/2
I was dealt Aces. 1 limp utg. Utg +1 raises to $15. I raise from cutoff to $60. Utg folds. Utg+1 calls. Pot is now $138 minus rake
Flop A K J. I bet out $100. She calls. Pot is now 338
Turn is 9. I bet out $200. She calls.
River is Q. She shoves all in for my $300. While this is most likely call, I was thinking if she can possibly have 10 but way more chance she doesnt than having it. Then she opened her mouth and told me she will show if I fold. This automatically gave me a tell that she doesnt have a straight. I told her "u r gonna have to show me anyways bcz im gonna call" and then flicked in my chip. Dealer then throws in the call puck. She then says"I told u i was gonna show if u fold. What did u have?" I told her she shows first. She rolls over KQs for two pairs and says "well, i dont have a straight but i have two pairs." I told her "no good. I got a set of Aces." Entire pot swiped towards me. Such a great feeling. She then asks "u didnt see the straight on the board?" I then tell her "there was a straight on the board?"
At least when i said im gonna call, i flicked in the chip. But I guess saying im gonna call can be seen as angling now after reading this.
