Here is the situation as told to me:
I had QQ, and led UTG preflop. Four calls. Flopped the Q. Bet. Two calls. Turns pairs the board. Bet, only Tyler calls. River misses the flush draw. I have two cards.
Check to Ty, he bets, I “tank” and then say you have three cards right?he spreads four, which I knew was what he had. I say “oh really? Then pot”.
For him to bet, he has to have a flush or boat with four cards. But if I thought he had three cards, that’s telling him I was worried about the pair on the board being a set for him. Which makes his hand good.
The oh really bet looks like a missed flush steal. And while a boat is in my range (he actually called QQ), that bit of lying made him think I was on the low end of my range.
He even said as much.
So, is pretending you didn’t know how many cards someone was playing in this circumstance an angle or not?
edit: to clarify the question.
