Yeah terrible call from bates. old school thinking i got pair il call and all that just no idea where he is in hand. No idea what his range looks like. And no idea what he is doing. just plain bad from matt. But we all no sky fav bates doesn't lose and he is against the only hand he is beating. Not like it matters if dany was ahead bates would of got there.
Please note I did not post this to personally attack Matt or Sky Poker. I was mearly seeking his thinking behind the call if he was willing to disclose. In hindsight I've been at his table serveral times, my opinion he may have felt it was a strange play from me knowing I would most likely flat if I was strong. he probs read it for what it was. Bad timing from me, as he would continue on this spot when missing, but sadly not the case. I dont think you can blame the site for this hand in particular.
You wouldn't believe how many deeply personal 'special favours' I had to perform to achieve this level of rungood

I am going to print that off and hang it as a poster on my wall, unbelievable, you knocked him out too. Go on, tell me it was a bounty hunter, go on, go on, please, please.
It's given me an idea of a possible thread idea in BBV, where players post hands where they get lucky vs Bates. It could reach double figures of posts by 2025.

Indeed I did win a bounty - it was last nights £2.20 bronze event. Unfortunately though, the 75p I made immediately had to be spent by my other half on some smelling salts with which to bring me round.

I don't think you have anything to apologise for Danyo - you asked a legitimate question in my opinion. Unfortunately I think I was the only person who attempted to answer your query - everyone else seems to have taken it as an opportunity to troll Matt
