Message: [QUOTE="slycbnew, post: 1396764, member: 43467"] A lot of this stuff looks mysteriously idiotic to us if we don't know what they're trying to accomplish, and what they're thinking the other guy is thinking. I agree w marginal, raising the turn would be a mistake - what are we accomplishing? Anything that calls crushes us, and anything that folds denies us the possibility of clipping a river bluff. Call it greed or whatever you like, but it's sound reasoning. The beauty/horror of this hand is that the river looks like a 100% complete and total blank - Toth has to feel that if he was ahead on the turn, he's ahead on the river - so the primary question in his mind is going to be whether Elky was ahead on the turn - and the answer he comes up with is obviously that while Elky could have hands in his range that were ahead on the turn, he has more hands in his range that were behind on the turn.
