At a casino cardroom, the game is No Limit Hold ‘Em. It is head-to-head action. The river card, a four, has just been shown. The board shows king, five, jack, queen, four. The action is to Fred in seat 2. Will is in seat 9. Fred says “I’m all-in.” Fred concentrates on pushing-in all his $340 in $5-chips. Hearing Will say “me too,” Fred exposes his king-queen hand, revealing the top two pair, kings and queens. Will (holding king-jack) sees Fred expose his king-queen and just sits there, making no action. Fred waits. Ginny, in seat 8, gets up from the table. Will is about to muck his cards. The dealer instructs Will, who has about $600 in chips in front of him, to match the $340. Will insists that he was about to get up and join Ginny for a cigarette. Will claims he was saying “me too” to Ginny, who, he claims, said to him, “I’m going out for a smoke.” WHAT DO YOU THINK?
