owned if you ask me

question though...did u fold the kings because u thought u were beat or just to give him the impression ur tight on the river and are capable of being bluffed?

Looks like you set him up very nicely... apparently he's an aware player.

That was basically a "credit" play. I didn't know him, so I gave him credit for having the trips and let it go. But I filed it away in the back of my mind as a possibility that he might try pulling the same thing again with no cards, since he knew I would make that laydown.
