worst laydown ever?

Well, the title should be best laydown ever since my opponents fold saved me 300 bucks. Playing $1/2 no limit- I raise preflop to $20 with 1010 and one guy calls. He's been playing bad and showing a lot of bluffs, so I figure I should be able to take some chips from him if I get a decent flop. Flop comes 456 with 2 hearts, I bet out $40, he raises me $40 more. I put him on either top pair or some kind of straight/flush draw-so I make a bad move and push in my last $250. He thinks forever, tells me he has 23 but feels he's beat. Finally, he mucks his hand face up and asks if I had his straight beat. I was laughing on the inside b/c I couldn't believe he called my raise with 23 and then mucked when he flopped a straight with it. I told the guy good laydown and wondered how he could possibly think I raised $20 with 37 or 78- the only two hands that beat him.

The guy really showed that he had 23?!?!? Wow, can't believe he folded!!!!

Nice lol add him as a friend for sure...... I've seen some dumb plays but that would have to be one of the dumbest

you got seriously lucky there..... If it were my i would have called in a flash... I can't say it enough...you got seriously lucky that he over anaylzed his hand!
Good luck for the next time!

im weird

:joyman: My worst lay downs usually come when i have a feeling, no matter what the hold cards are. Everytime i truly have a feeling i am always right, its uncanning. The problem is trust, i have to trust the feeling is right and be willing to ride with it nomatter the outcome. That's the hard part so i struggle, because i use my brain to much and may start to analyze my hold cards and fold.

You'll find the occasional player, at any level, will make lay downs because they have no idea what they're doing are where they're at in a hand. I'm surprised anyone would fold 23 there. He might have said that just to search for info, maybe to see what you'd say.

at the wsop some guy folded JhTd on a KQ9cc board to a flop 5-bet shove

vn i see that sort of thing happen all the time some dumb ass player who plays anything hopeing 2 hit with 72 37 so on just a joke they havent a clue how 2 play the game with respect its annoying cos i dnt no how they would call like 10/20 bets with **** all just cant get my head around it

Snap call IMO.
I would have called quik,
depending on the players image of course.

somtimes for noobs a little infomation is very dangerous. he prob just starting to learn the game and read sumthing in a book like, "folding is one of the most profitable plays in poker" then has tryed to use that info to his benefit without really understanding it. then BAM. lol. prob thought to himself that was a genious fold. reason i say this i done a similar thing myself, but it was a bit more co$tly then folding the best hand. lol. involved supersystem and doyle's loose aggressive play. didnt realize there was a bit more to it then bet bet bet!!!!!!!! = RAIL

I can't beleive that guy folded !!!How could you have raised with buddy ?
You should present me this guy I d ove playin against him
